Description

This seems wrong (or at least inconsistent):

nil.singleton_class.singleton_class? #=> false
true.singleton_class.singleton_class? #=> false
false.singleton_class.singleton_class? #=> false

Changing this would cause the reverse inconsistency:

false.class.singleton_class? #=> would be true, but .class.singleton_class? should always be false

The only real fix would be to have separate class and singleton_class for nil/false/true, but it's unclear if that's worth it.

This inconsistency does not have any actual drawback, so we keep the current behavior.
