In Japanese Ruby community, it's likely that Foo.bar refers to Foo::bar, the
class method.
For instance, in Japanese Ruby Reference Manual (
http://doc.okkez.net/192/view/ -- it's in Japanese, sorry),
Foo.bar is the primary way to describe Foo::bar.

In addition, Foo.#bar is used to describe a module function bar of module
Foo.
