Description

Hi,

If I redefine a method like this, I get a warning:

class Foo def bar end end class Foo def bar end end

If I alias the method to a different name, I don't get a warning:

class Foo def bar end end class Foo alias :foo :bar def bar end end

I think this is expected. However, if I alias the method to itself, I don't get a warning:

class Foo def bar end end class Foo alias :bar :bar def bar end end

I think this case should cause a warning.
