OK, so I close this ticket.

----------------------------------------
Bug #7675: main.protected is not defined
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7675#change-35296

Author: shugo (Shugo Maeda)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-01-07 trunk 38731) [i686-linux]


main (self at toplevel) has public and private, but doesn't have protected.

  public
  private
  protected #=> NoMethodError

It looks a bit weird.

I guess it was forgotten to add main.protected when Module#protected was introduced
in Ruby 1.1b9_05.
main.protected seems not to be useful because it makes methods of Object protected, but
it might be good to have main.protected for consistency.
