Ok, thanks David, I figured it was something like that.
There are very few cases where const_missing gets used
(Rails and Rake being two), and it's not obvious from
them or from the documentation that it works like that.

BTW, I recently saw a video of your "Curious developer"
talk on database design at the RailsConf 2006. I expect
to address many of the issues through my "ActiveFacts"
project (this DSL I'm working on is a fact-based data
modeling language). Would you be interested in private
communication regarding this project?
