Hmmmm ... I thought I had already understand this issue (use 
CLASSNAME:: for accessing constants, and CLASSNAME. for accessing
class methods), but then I fail to understand why both

  File::delete("filename")
  File.delete("filename")

work. Only the second form should be correct then, shouldn't it?
