% ri garbage_collect
The method named `garbage_collect' is not unique among Ruby's classes
and modules:
     GC#garbage_collect, ObjectSpace::garbage_collect
% ri GC#garbage_collect
----------------------------------------------------- GC#garbage_collect
     garbage_collect -> nil
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Equivalent to GC::start.
        include GC
        garbage_collect   #=> nil

See?
