Subject: Class vs Module in constant lookup


Constant lookup behaves differently if there is a class versus a
module in the name:

     XYZ = 10

     module M
     end

     class C
     end

     p defined? M::XYZ  # => nil
     p defined? C::XYZ  # => "constant"

Is this difference intended? If so, what is the rationale?
