```ruby
TracePoint.new(:c_call) { |tp|
  if tp.method_id == :const_missing
    puts "top-level const_missing is #{tp.self}'s"
  end
}.enable { Foo rescue 1 }
# => top-level const_missing is Object's

module M
  refine Object.singleton_class do
    def const_missing c
      'Explicit invocation works.'
    end

    def new
      'Can refine other singleton methods.'
    end
  end
end

using M

puts Object.const_missing :Foo
# => Explicit invocation works.
Foo rescue p $!
# => #<NameError: uninitialized constant Foo>

def Object.const_missing c
  'So does direct definition.'
end

puts Foo
# => So does direct definition.

puts Object.new
# => Can refine other singleton methods.
```

Is it a bug?
