Date should be either required or not

Description

Today I was trying to do some experiment with IRB: "Date.today" threw a NoMethodError.

But Date was defined: "defined? Date" == "constant".

If I explicitly required for "date" it worked, but this is pretty much weird. It would be better if either:

  • I got an undefined "Date" class instead
  • "date" was automatically required

The current state is pretty much misleading.

This also happens in JRuby, so I guess somehow this is an intended behavior, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
