module TT_Test

  module Foo
    CHEESE = 'I am Foo!'
    module Bar
      def self.prod
        puts CHEESE
      end
      def self.q
      p Module.nesting
    end
    end # Bar
    def self.q
      p Module.nesting
    end
  end # Foo


  module Foo::Biz
    def self.prod
      puts CHEESE
    end
    def self.q
      p Module.nesting
    end
  end # Foo

end # TT_Test


TT_Test::Foo.q
# => [TT_Test::Foo, TT_Test]

TT_Test::Foo::Bar.q
# => [TT_Test::Foo::Bar, TT_Test::Foo, TT_Test]

TT_Test::Foo::Bar.q
# => [TT_Test::Foo::Bar, TT_Test]

TT_Test::Foo.constants
# => ["Biz", "Bar", "CHEESE"]

My question is: Why is the constant scope different between Bar and Biz
- despite that they both exist under TT_Test::Foo ? I mean, if TT_Test
got a constant named "Foo::Biz" I would have understood the constant
lookup.
