No, it doesn't.
But Date::ABBR_MONTHS does.

Yes, this is a case of EBKAC, not a bug in stdlib.

I don't see DATE::ABBR_MONTHS anywhere there. Can you point out *exactly*
what you clicked to see this? It's probably a typo, it obviously should be
Date::ABBR_MONTHS

There is actually a discrepancy between the ruby docs and the ruby
framework.

Furthermore, a rails plugin actually tries to use this constant and it
bombs out on my machine. I'm sure it worked for the plugin developer
(perhaps b/c he had a diff version of ruby) but it doesn't for me.

See the following post for details and work around:
