Subject: [ruby-core:98852] [Ruby master Bug#9573] descendants of a module don't gain its future ancestors, but descendants of a class, do

Issue #9573 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


Updating `prepend` looks OK to me now. Let's try it.

```ruby
module Mod1
end

module Mod2
end

class Class1
end

class Class2 < Class1
end

p Class2.ancestors - Object.ancestors # [Class2, Class1]

Class1.include Mod1

p Class2.ancestors - Object.ancestors # [Class2, Class1, Mod1]

Mod1.include Mod2

p Mod1.ancestors - Object.ancestors # [Mod1, Mod2]

p Class2.ancestors - Object.ancestors # [Class2, Class1, Mod1]
```
________________________________________________________________

note that descendants of a class do gain its future ancestors

so 2 issues:

1. It would seem natural that in dynamic language, dynamically added ancestors should propagate to descendants
2. Why is there a difference in ancestor propagation between modules and classes
