[ruby-core:96398] [Ruby master Feature#6810] `module A::B; end` is not equivalent to `module A; module B; end; end` with respect to constant lookup (scope)

Issue #6810 has been updated by sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada).


At lest as of Ruby 2.6.5, I get a different output from above for at least one of the examples:

```ruby
N = 0

module A
  module B
    def self.f; N; end
  end

  N = 1
end

N = 0

A::B.f # => 1
```

Is this the expected behavior? To me, it is rather surprising:

```ruby
N = 0

module A
  module B
    def self.f; N; end
  end

  N = 1
end

A::B.f # => 1

N = 0

A::B.f # => 0

A::N = 1

A::B.f # => 1

A::B::N = 2

A::B.f # => 2
```

but

```ruby
N = 0

module A; end

module A::B
  def self.f; N; end
end

module A
  N = 1
end

A::B.f # => 0

N = 0

A::B.f # => 0

A::N = 1

A::B.f # => 0

A::B::N = 2

A::B.f # => 2
```
