Issue #15903 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


I vote for `$LOAD_PATH.resolve_feature_path`. We need to improve the documentation as well.

Feature #15903: Move RubyVM.resolve_feature_path to Kernel.resolve_feature_path
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15903#change-79271

* Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
* Target version: 2.7
----------------------------------------
RubyVM contains mostly MRI-specific features but `resolve_feature_path` is clearly not MRI-specific.

So I propose to move it as a class method of `Kernel`.
I think this makes sense given the related `load` and `require` are defined in `Kernel` too.

Moreover, moving this method outside `RubyVM` is *necessary* for other Ruby implementations to implement it, and keep the clean separation that `RubyVM` is only defined on MRI (see #15752).

So, can I move `RubyVM.resolve_feature_path` to `Kernel.resolve_feature_path`?

Do we need to keep the method on RubyVM (and deprecate it), or can we just remove it since anyway API under RubyVM is not stable?
