Issue #11182 has been updated by Koichi Sasada.

I wrote pictures again for original examples D, C and M.

![(1) Like module include model (on original example)](6.PNG)
![(2) Method selector model (on original example)](7.PNG)

In this case, I think both are acceptable (calling C#foo directly or M::C#foo). Why you say "It must be C#foo"? Or model (2) is wrong model?

> We already established in past discussions about refinements that the class's actual method table (and methods that query or manipulate it) should not reflect refinements, since that would require them to be aware of the caller's scope. 

It is just MRI do (selector model, I wrote).
We choose this because we don't have any penalty if nobody use refinements.
(this is based on this assumption: only a few people use refinements)

----------------------------------------
The following script causes strange behavior.

```ruby
class C
  def foo
    p "C"
  end
end

module M
  refine C do
    def foo
      p "Refiend C"
    end
  end
end

class D < C
  alias bar foo
end

using M
D.new.bar
#=> t.rb:21:in `<main>': undefined method `bar' for #<D:0x29fbf58> (NoMethodError)
```

It seems strange.

Maybe (1) C#foo or (2) M#C#foo should be called. But I'm not sure which is suitable.
