From: thoran Date: 2009-08-30T19:01:17+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:25196] Ancestor of Oneself? Does it make sense that a class has itself as its own ancestor? For instance... 42.class => Fixnum 42.class.ancestors => [Fixnum, Integer, Precision, Numeric, Comparable, Object, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel] Perhaps it should be as follows?... 42.class.ancestors => [Integer, Precision, Numeric, Comparable, Object, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]
