Subject: Error in ancestor?

Hi list

I just observed this (and it cost me quite some effort to debug my code :( )

515/15 > ruby -ve 'class << Class::new; puts self; puts ancestors.inspect end'
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-04 patchlevel 2) [i686-linux]
#<Class:#<Class:0xb7dfae50>>
[Class, Module, Object, Kernel]


this seems to be in contradiction with
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Module.html#M001700
stating
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  mod.ancestors → array

Returns a list of modules included in mod (including mod itself).
                                                                 =============

   module Mod
     include Math
     include Comparable
   end

   Mod.ancestors    #=> [Mod, Comparable, Math]
   Math.ancestors   #=> [Math]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this an error in doc or in behavior?

Cheers
Robert
