[ruby-core:104738] [Ruby master Bug#17725] Prepend breaks ability to override optimized methods

Issue #17725 has been updated by nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga).


I think fa0279d947c3962c3f8c32852278d3ebb964cb19 should be backported too.

But it could introduce a tiny incompatibility. I'd like to investigate the another workarounds of the issue.

Bug #17725: Prepend breaks ability to override optimized methods
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17725#change-93074

* Author: joshuadreed (Josh Reed)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.0.0p0 (2020-12-25 revision 95aff21468) [x86_64-darwin19]
* Backport: 2.5: DONTNEED, 2.6: DONTNEED, 2.7: DONTNEED, 3.0: REQUIRED
----------------------------------------
Prepending any module to `String` and `Hash` (and possibly other or all classes?) blocks the ability to `alias` 

As an example:
``` ruby
module Dummy; end
# String.prepend(Dummy)
class String
  alias_method(:old_plus, :+)
  def + other
    puts 'blah blah'
    old_plus(other)
  end
end

'a' + 'b'

> blah blah
```

``` ruby
module Dummy; end
String.prepend(Dummy)
class String
  alias_method(:old_plus, :+)
  def + other
    puts 'blah blah'
    old_plus(other)
  end
end

'a' + 'b'

>
```

Prepending after an `alias` does not affect the previous `alias`
