Tempfile.new("foo") --> /tmp/foo123.0 *NOT* /tmp/foo.123.0 like docs says

Hi all -

Just noticed that the documentation for Tempfile.new says:

   Creates a temporary file of mode 0600 in the temporary directory whose
   name is basename.pid.n ....

But it's actually basenamepid.n. Line 70 of tempfile.rb says:

   sprintf('%s%d.%d', basename, $$, n)

Who and where should I let know about this?

Thanks!

Hmm, it's a documentation error. Thank you for the report.
