Get name of subclass
Lets say I have I class called
a = Person::User::Base
How can I get only the last subclass called Base.
The way i know how to do this is:
a.to_s.split('::').last
=> "Base"
Is there a better way?

If you use Rails (ActiveSupport):
a.to_s.demodulize
If you use POR (plain-ol-Ruby), yes, it's your way:
a.to_s.split('::').last
