Issue #21341 has been updated by yahonda (Yasuo Honda). This only triggers the TypeError for the top-level module Namespace, not when it’s nested inside another module. ```ruby $ ruby -ve 'module Foo; module Namespace; end; end' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-15T08:25:56Z master 427ede2dde) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ``` ```ruby $ RUBY_NAMESPACE=1 ruby -ve 'module Foo; module Namespace; end; end' ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-05-15T08:25:56Z master 427ede2dde) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] ruby: warning: Namespace is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future!
