Message: [QUOTE="David A. Black, post: 4642289"] Hi -- When you do irb M, you're putting M before all else in the constant resolution path. So String.new is really M::String.new. "hello" is still a ::String (top-level, core String class), because the existence of M::String does not affect the behavior of the literal quotation marks (which create a ::String). David -- David A.
