Subject: const_missing - why is it necessary to hook it at Module?

Why doesn't the following code work?

class Foo
	def Foo.const_missing(sym)
		p sym
		sym.to_s
	end
end

Foo.new.instance_eval {
	Bar
}

I thought the missing constant Bar would be caught
by the const_missing, since it's available on the
class whose instance is being instance_eval'd.

What gives? I'm writing a DSL and want to catch missing
constants within a block being instance_eval'd
