Subject: [ruby-core:102471] [Ruby master Bug#17623] endless def can access to outer local variables and lead to unexpected result

Issue #17623 has been updated by xtkoba (Tee KOBAYASHI).


I found that `f` is indeed defined in RubyInstaller's `irb.cmd`:
```
--- original/irb.cmd
+++ RubyInstaller/irb.cmd
@@ -28,7 +28,7 @@
 end
 
 if Gem.respond_to?(:activate_bin_path)
-load Gem.activate_bin_path('irb', 'irb', version)
+f = Gem.activate_bin_path('irb', 'irb', version); require 'irbrc_predefiner'; load f
 else
 gem "irb", version
 load Gem.bin_path("irb", "irb", version)
```

The same goes for `str` or `version` with every environment:
```
irb(main):001:0> str
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> version
=> ">= 0.a"
irb(main):003:0>
```

I have no idea whether it is a bug or not that the local variables defind in `irb` command is visible from IRB.

``` ruby
irb(main):001:0> a = 1
=> 1
irb(main):002:0> def f = a
=> :f
irb(main):003:0> f
=> "D:/Ruby30-x64/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/irb-1.3.0/exe/irb"
```
I have not idea what it means.
The codes just work fine outside irb.
Maybe it is a bug.
