Subject: [ruby-core:42915] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5690] Module#qualified_const_get


Issue #5690 has been updated by Thomas Sawyer.


Please, can we avoid the use such abstract name.

Is the speed hit too great that Ruby's can't just use `#const_get` for this as well? I suspect the Rail's method name was chosen simply to avoid a monkey patch.

Of course, in Facets the method is just called `#constant`. Heaven forbid we use the obvious name ;-)

It would be great if there was a way to dynamically load a constant path:

  module Foo
    module Bar
      module Baz
      end
    end
  end

  Foo.qualified_const_get("Bar::Baz") => Foo::Bar::Baz
