No, Time.yesterday is not in active_support, Time#yesterday is.

Also, active_support emits far, far, far too many warnings.  I could  
*maybe* deal with 1 or two warnings, but not 169:

$ cat yesterday.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_support'

p Time.yesterday

$ ruby yesterday.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/ 
active_support/class_inheritable_attributes.rb:116: warning:  
discarding old inherited
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/ 
active_support/inflections.rb:2: warning: ambiguous first argument;  
put parentheses or even spaces
[snip 167 lines of warnings]
yesterday.rb:6: undefined method `yesterday' for Time:Class  
(NoMethodError)
