Maybe with const_missing?
http://www.ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/classes/Module.html#M000928

class Foo

  def self.const_missing(sym)
    "You wanted to know #{sym}, but it doesn't exist!"
  end

end

puts Foo::ABC #=> You wanted to know ABC, but it doesn't exist!
puts Foo::Bar #=> You wanted to know Bar, but it doesn't exist!

Vale,
Marvin
