Subject: [ruby-core:64105] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9064] Add support for	packages, like in Java

Issue #9064 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Description updated

It doesn't seem that `package A::B::C` searches constants from `A` and `A::B`.

Feature #9064: Add support for packages, like in Java
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9064#change-48116

----------------------------------------
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:

~~~ruby
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:

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

Could you please consider this idea?
