# Module#include, Module#prepend can accept no arguments Module.new.include Module.new.prepend

[jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans)]

This isn't a bug, it a consequence of the fact that they take an arbitrary number of arguments:

Module.new.include(Module.new, Module.new, ...)

Changing it would break code like:

extensions = []
extensions << Module.new if something
extensions << Module.new if something_else
Module.new.include(*extensions)

Jeremy Evans, you are right.
