Regression: Singleton's _instantiate? method is no longer available
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-2239
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2239
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Classes/Modules
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1RC2
         Environment: Latest JRuby 1.1RC2 rev. r6131, Linux.
            Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov
            Assignee: MenTaLguY
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: JRuby 1.1


In rev. r6131, there were chandes done to singleton.rb: "re-implement Singleton 
without relying on Thread.critical". As a side effect, the _instantiate? method 
is gone, this breaks compatibility with MRI and leads to one rubyspec failure:

 bin/mspec -t j spec/ruby/1.8/library/singleton/instantiate_spec.rb
.E

1)
Singleton._instantiate? returns nil until it is instantiated ERROR
undefined method `_instantiate?' for SingletonSpecs::NotInstantiated:Class:
/opt/work/rubinius/./spec/ruby/1.8/library/singleton/instantiate_spec.rb:11
/opt/work/rubinius/./mspec/runner/mspec.rb:111:in `call'

/opt/work/rubinius/./mspec/runner/mspec.rb:26:in `process'
mspec/bin/mspec-run:36

I understand that the change was intentional, but we need to figure out what to 
do here. Is there a way to provide better alternative than just no method at 
all? Should the spec be marked as not applicable to JRuby altogether?
