Hi Gennady,

You can define a method with the same name as a constant as they're in
separate namespaces, e.g.

class MyClass
  def initialize(*args, &block)
     p args
  end
end

def MyClass(*args, &block)
  MyClass.new(*args, &block)
end

o = MyClass(1,2,3)
p o
#=> #<MyClass:0x2c87910>

As the OP says, Array() is just a method on Kernel.

Regards,

Sean
