How do I use Ruby refinements in Rails views?

Question

I have a Rails 4 project using Ruby 2.0. I've defined some refinements. Putting

<% using MyRefinements %>

at the top of the view files causes the error "undefined method 'using'".

When I add:

using MyRefinements

At the top of my controller (above the class declaration), I can successfully use the refinement in the controller, but I get an 'undefined method' error if I try to use it in the view.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this does not seem possible. For posterity, I'm documenting the things I tried that didn't work:

In the view:

<% using MyRefinements %>

In the controller (each tried separately):

using MyRefinements
helper :MyRefinements
helper_method :MyRefinements
helper { using MyRefinements }

In the helper:

using MyRefinements

Note that refinements become available in the controller and in the helper, but never in the view.

Too bad.
