Subject: [ruby-core:69476] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11228] [Rejected] Classes Cannot be used in case Statements

Issue #11228 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

This is per spec, please check the definition of `Class#===`, since a `switch` is sugar for calls to `===`.

    String === String # => false
