JRuby's Signal pollutes Kernel namespace with signal-specific constants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-2279
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2279
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1RC2
Environment: Latest JRuby 1.1RC2
Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
In MRI, Kernel.constants returns empty array.
In JRuby, by default, as well.
But, once the Signal is used, or 'jsignal' is required, it pollutes the Kernel
constants:
Kernel.constants => ["JavaSignal", "SIGNALS"]
This also leads to one rubyspec failure:
{noformat}
Module#constants returns an array with the names of all accessible constants
FAILED
Expected ["JavaSignal", "A", "SIGNALS"]
to equal ["A"]

Ideally, such important visible namespaces should not be polluted with internal
implementation details.
