when inheriting from nonclass an error is thrown

[niccokunzmann]

class X < 1 # some object that is not a class
end

now creates the

TypeError: wrong argument type Fixnum. expected a class.

instead of the former

NoMethodError: a MessageNotUnderstood occurred (error 2010), a SmallInteger does not understand  #'newRubySubclass:instancesPersistent:fixedIvs:'

The specs do not test this case in spec/rubyspec/core/class/new_spec.rb. They test Class.new which raises a TypeError.

lambda { Class.new("")         }.should raise_error(TypeError)
lambda { Class.new(1)          }.should raise_error(TypeError)
lambda { Class.new(:symbol)    }.should raise_error(TypeError)
lambda { Class.new(mock('o'))  }.should raise_error(TypeError)
lambda { Class.new(Module.new) }.should raise_error(TypeError)

I did not find other specs that test my code directly.
