Naming collision when referring to delegatated 'App' model in console

#6019

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :bar
  delegate :app, :to => :bar
end

class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :app
end

class App < ActiveRecord::Base
end

In console:
Foo.first.app.class
=> ActionDispatch::Integration::Session

It seems to think I'm actually calling console's 'app' method.

Why this appears to be a bug:
- From what I can tell 'App' is not reserved (and is an important name, like Friend, or Book, or Comment, etc to have available),
- Bar.app returns the actual App object
- this only occurs in console

- Importance changed from to Low
The example can be simplified by defining #app in Bar as a normal method.
