Backport: 1.9.3: DONTNEED, 2.0.0: REQUIRED


The following code, issued through rake console, works fine on ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin11.4.0], 
but fails on ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2].

module A
  extend self
    
  def a
    return "a"
  end
end

def b
  return "b"
end

a = A.method(:a)
A.define_singleton_method(:a, method(:b))
A.define_singleton_method(:a, a)

On ruby 2.0, the last line raises the following exception:

TypeError: compared with non class/module

The result that I expect is that the original method "a" should be replaced back on the module (and in 1.9.3, that is exactly what happens).
