Subject: Double colon in class definition?

What does the double colon mean in a class definition.  e.g.   
ActiveRecord::Base ?  I couldn't locate it in the docs.   I suspect  
it's akin to a category or a namespace.  The only documentation on  
double-colon that I have found indicates that "::" is used to make  
class methods easier to read since "." will also call a class method.
