''.refined? rescue false end Foo.module_eval do using Refinement endendp Foo.refined? #false```The module_eval `#using` call does not raise (it's not from a method and the receiver is self), but evidently because currently open class does not match self, it does not do anything. So it should at least raise.So `#using`, though a method, does not function as a method, which is misleading.-- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
