Bug #9237: Monkey Patching Infix Float Operator's Produces Unexpected Results

=begin
Trying to redefine the infix division operator for the Float initially appears to have no effect.

    class Float
      def /(other)
        "magic!"
      end
     end
     puts 10.0/2.0
     # -> 5.0

But when another infix operator is added the infix division operator suddenly takes on the new definition!

    class Float
      def /(other)
        "magic!"
      end
      def *(other)
        "spooky"
      end
    end
    puts 10.0/2.0
    # -> "magic!"

These results were returned when these programs were run in isolation.
