The maintained constants table is dealing with symbols but these methods can take strings as arguments ; it's pretty common to pass `class.name` as an argument.

Hello,
This is a tiny patch that makes
#private_constantand#public_constantaccept strings as arguments. The maintained constants table is dealing with symbols but these methods can take strings ; it's pretty common to passclass.nameas an argument.MRI is doing the symbol conversion even though the documentation sets "symbol" as the given argument.
The Active Record test suite doesn't run at all on Rubinius since
has_and_belongs_to_manyrelies on this.Have a nice day.
