Subject: Is  GC a class or module?

Hi guys,

On page 8 of 2nd Pickaxe or when I type ri GC under a window prompt 
command I get the message 1. It looks like GC is a class. But on page 
426 and page 491 it says GC is a built-in module. Since in Ruby a module 
and a class is different. So which one is correct? Do I miss something 
in message 1?

Thanks,

Li
