Thanks Xavier. I realize implementation differs. Clearly I can't tap into 
the underlying constant resolution with pure Ruby. But I expected that I 
should be able to emulate it effectively with const_missing --I would think 
it would possible to get essentially the same results.

The only difference I am sure about at this point, is that I haven't been 
able to find a way to get `Module.nesting`, instead I had to resort to 
Constant#name and splitting it up. Yet I thought this would give me a 
superset of current functionality, not a subset. i.e.

    class Foo
      HERE = "here"
      class Bar::Baz
        HERE
      end
    end

Ruby's constant lookup would not find HERE, my code would.

Obviously, I am still missing something. And maybe you are right, that it 
is not possible (which would be sad, imo). I just wish I knew what it was.
