Subject: Re: Re-implementing Autoload

You surely know that, but let me comment that this autoload behaves in
a different way.

You sure know the original autoload is transparently hooked into each
step of constant resolution and does not go through const_missing.
Also, since const_missing does not know the nesting, and does not know
the resolution algorithm that is being used, you just cannot emulate
it.

Active Support autoloading suffers from the same constraints and that
is why it does not claim to emulate constant resolution (it cannot),
rather AS autoloading gives you a series of conventions that if you
follow then it works. You have to program to a contract.
