How are you trying to index? You *do* realize that classes are
completely open in Ruby, don't you, allowing stdlib to add new
methods, etc. that aren't supported/in the C-based core Ruby?

And, please, as James said, it isn't "Ruby Rails". It's just "Ruby".
Rails is just an application framework on top of Ruby. Ruby makes
Rails possible, not the other way around.
