Was this message target at me? If so, I didn't understand how const_set could help implementing this feature. Would you mind in explaining what you meant by using const_set?

Feature #9064: Add support for packages, like in Java

In Java, it's easy to define a package for a certain class:

package com.company.MyClass

We don't use that convention in Ruby but we have another way of packaging classes:

module MyLibrary
  module InnerNamespace
    class MyClass
    end
  end
end

I'd prefer to be able to use something like this instead meaning exactly the same thing:

package MyLibrary::InnerNamespace # or MyLibrary.InnerNamespace, I don't really care
class MyClass
end

Could you please consider this idea?
