Certainly, IMO. I usually say Math.sin rather than Math::sin. Basically
I don't care in general whether it's a class or just a module. (There
might be times when I do care.)

As for module names and class names (replying to what someone else said),
remember that these are typically constants. In other words, if Foo::Bar
is a class, it's just a special case of Foo::Bar being a constant.
