Hello!
Is there something similar to method_missing for classes?
I.e. overload a method of Object or handle an exception
when a ‘Foo.new’ is called and class Foo does not exist.

Try this:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> defined? AClass
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> class AClass; end
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> defined? AClass
=> “constant”
irb(main):004:0>
Cheers,

Something like this?
def Object.const_missing(sym)
Object.const_set( sym, Class.new() )
end
==>nil
Foo.new
==>#Foo:0x3c408
Bar.new
==>#Bar:0x398d4
Baz.new
==>#Baz:0x21370

Exactly! Thanx (to Dmitry also). 
Ruby never fails to surprise - not in the common ‘bad’ sense - me!
