Bug #9443

Prepended methods are skipped if calling alias

Description

I am unsure if this is related to https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7842 as that issue specifically mentions the user of "super" which my example code does not use. Anyway, here is the test to recreate:

require 'test/unit'

module A
  def foo
    'foo2'
  end
end

class B
  def foo
    'foo1'
  end
  alias_method :bar, :foo
end

B.send(:prepend, A)

class AliasTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_no_alias
    assert_equal 'foo2', B.new.foo
  end

  def test_with_alias
    assert_equal 'foo2', B.new.bar
  end
end

test_with_alias fails and will only call the original "foo" method.

I have confirmed this on Ruby 2.0.0-p353 & 2.1.0
