Bug #5354: Module#remove_const documentation is confusing
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5354

=begin
The documentation for Module#remove_const says:

> Removes the definition of the given constant, returning that constant”Ēs value. Predefined classes and singleton objects (such as true) cannot be removed.

Based on this documentation, someone said in http://stackoverflow.com/q/7513727/38765 that you can't do remove_const on the File constant, whereas you can.

 class Object
   remove_const :File
 end
 
 File # => NameError: uninitialized constant File
 

=end
