Bug #6078: The name of a module nested in an anonymous module depends on how it was created
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6078

If a module is nested under an anonymous module, the nested modules name will depend on how the module is created. See below:

$ irb
1.9.3p125 :001 > m = Module.new
 => #<Module:0x000001009e1398> 
1.9.3p125 :002 > n = Module.new
 => #<Module:0x000001009e1ca8> 
1.9.3p125 :003 > m::N = n
 => #<Module:0x000001009e1ca8> 
1.9.3p125 :004 > m.name
 => nil 
1.9.3p125 :005 > n.name
 => nil 
1.9.3p125 :006 > m.constants
 => [:N] 
1.9.3p125 :007 > module m::O
1.9.3p125 :008?>   end
 => nil 
1.9.3p125 :009 > m.constants
 => [:N, :O] 
1.9.3p125 :010 > m::N.name
 => nil 
1.9.3p125 :011 > m::O.name
 => "#<Module:0x000001009e1398>::O" 
1.9.3p125 :012 > m.const_get(:N).name
 => nil 
1.9.3p125 :013 > m.const_get(:O).name
 => "#<Module:0x000001009e1398>::O" 
1.9.3p125 :014 > M = m
 => M 
1.9.3p125 :015 > m::N.name
 => "M::N" 
1.9.3p125 :016 > m::O.name
 => "#<Module:0x000001009e1398>::O"

Thanks,
Brian
