[Rails] Re: Need help on #grep

ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) is returning an Enumerator of Class
object. Then you are shoving a bunch of class objects into an array and
then expecting grep to know what to do with them.

If you were to run:

irb(main):> ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) { |x| p x.class }
Class
Class
Class
...
...
...
=> 383

Calling to_a on that Enumerator you get an array of Class objects, NOT
strings. When sending the grep message to an Array return any elements
where Pattern === element.

What you probably want instead is an array of class names as strings not
Class objects. Then grep should work just fine.
