Classes should not be duplicable

Reported by Frederick Cheung | August 14th, 2008 @ 02:50 PM | in 2.x

Classes are currently marked as duplicable and so class_inheritable_accessor calls dup on them which causes no end of trouble. Among other things a duped class doesn't have a name. It also means that


class Foo
  class_inheritable_accessor :some_class
end

Foo.some_class = Bar
Foo.some_class == Bar #=> false

which guarantees you AssociationTypeMismatch errors and other niceties
