Backport #9238: Monkey Patching Float class Infix Operators Produces Unexpected Result

Hello!

Patching Float class infix operators seem to work only if 2 are present. See the code below.

class Float
  def /(other)
    "magic"
  end
end

first_result = 10.0 / 2.0

class Float
  def *(other)
    "weird"
  end
end

second_result = 10.0 / 2.0

if first_result == 5.0 && second_result == "magic"
  puts "Bug confirmed"
else
  puts "Bug not present"
end

Cute bug.
You were lucky to figure out that redefining * "fixed" it!
Would have loved to mention that in my rubyconf talk :-)
