Ok, so that's a bad news...

Nope, because the block I'm trying to evaluate is "A_CONSTANT 
some,parameters", so i expect to parse the parameters as well for this 
constant. Moreover, the const_missing doesn't solve the issue as i still 
have to lookup through parent's modules to get the constant dynamically 
as it is performed statically...
