But I noticed that contants defined in outer modules aren't
accessible.  So bad X-(.

  module Text end

  Text.module_eval do
    module Markup end
  end

  Text::Markup.module_eval do
    module OutputFormatter
      p Markup	# causes NameError
    end
  end

Do you mean module takes any expression?

Then, once it's been argued in the thread beginning from
[ruby-dev:12323](sorry, in Japanese), the coclusion is that
`module expr' syntax has conflict and also ambiguity probably,
so new syntax would be required. (cf. [ruby-dev:12344])

Otherwise if it's just tCONSTANT::tCONSTANT format, it may be
easier than former, but I'm not sure.
