i think it does a check with samle.class.class in the Background wich 
results in Class

irb(main):001:0> class A
irb(main):002:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> a = A.new
=> #<A:0x2f8b4b4>
irb(main):004:0> a.class
=> A
irb(main):005:0> a.class.is_a? A
=> false
irb(main):006:0> a.class.class
=> Class
irb(main):007:0> A.class
=> Class
