Subject: const_defined? not quite in sync with const_get ??

Assuming the following snippet, I'd expect Foo::const_defined?(:Bar)
to be routed via Foo::const_missing.  Instead it resolves to top-level
Bar.  Can someone explain why please?

--code--

class Bar
end

module Foo
  def self.const_missing(konst)
    puts "missing konst #{konst}"
  end
end

Foo::Bar
#=> missing konst Bar # Unsurprising behaviour

p Foo::const_defined?(:Bar)
false # Unsurprising behaviour

p Foo::const_get(:Bar)
#=> Bar # Surprising behaviour

--/code--

Cheers,

Chris
