[bug] Array#first(symbol) doesn't raise?

irb(main):001:0> %w(a b c).first(:xyz)
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):002:0> %w(a b c).last(:xyz)
=> ["a", "b", "c"]

This seems inconsistent to me. I would expect a TypeError.

svg% ruby -we '%w(a b c).first(:xyz)'
-e:1: warning: treating Symbol as an integer
svg%
