Subject: ipaddr, valid?

Why are the IPSocket class methods valid?, valid_v4? and valid_v6?
(defined in ipaddr.rb) not defined if the constant AF_INET6 is.

From ipaddr.rb:
unless Socket.const_defined? "AF_INET6"
  class Socket
    AF_INET6 = Object.new
  end

  class << IPSocket
    def valid_v4?(addr)
       [...]
    end
    def valid_v6?(addr)
       [...]
    end
    def valid(addr)
      [...]
    end
  end
end

Shouldn't it be:
unless Socket.const_defined? "AF_INET6"
  class Socket
    AF_INET6 = Object.new
  end
end

class << IPSocket
  def valid_v4?(addr)
     [...]
  end
  def valid_v6?(addr)
     [...]
  end
  def valid(addr)
    [...]
  end
end

By the way:
