Description

According to:

http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.2.1/libdoc/time/rdoc/Time.html

Time#parse can take a 2nd parameter:

We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second object that responds to mon, day and year, such as Date, Time or DateTime. We can also use our own object.

However, that is not correct:

irb(main):010:0> Time.parse('12:30 AM', Date.today)
NoMethodError: undefined method `getlocal' for #<Date: 2015-04-07 ((2457120j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
        from C:/mingw64/mingw64/local/ruby/lib/ruby/2.2.0/time.rb:262:in `make_time'
        from C:/mingw64/mingw64/local/ruby/lib/ruby/2.2.0/time.rb:364:in `parse'
        from (irb):10
        from C:/mingw64/mingw64/local/ruby/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'

The problem is in Time#make_time, lines 259 through 263:

  if off
    now = now.getlocal(off) if now.utc_offset != off
  else
    now = now.getlocal
  end

The behavior the documentation does seem desirable, so the code above should check if the now parameter responds to getlocal or not (only Time does, Date and DateTime do not). Or of course the documentation should be updated to specify that a time object must be passed as the now parameter.
