REXML::Functions.name == nil

I found this oddity while running ParseTree over every .rb file in the 
ruby libs:

> irb(main):001:0> require 'rexml/functions'
> => true
> irb(main):002:0> REXML::Functions
> => REXML::Functions
> irb(main):003:0> REXML::Functions.name
> => nil

sure enough, Functions::name is defined. This seems bad to me. It also 
defines id and breaks it too:

> irb(main):004:0> Class.id
> => 974456
> irb(main):005:0> REXML::Functions.id
> ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
>         from (irb):4:in `id'
>         from (irb):4

Can we get these renamed or otherwise make them work with their regular 
semantics?
