Yeah, but some people seems to have made a pact with the devil;-)

In this  case you actually need  the evil eval  - at least if want to
get the silly output I intended to;-).  Lets say (in 1.7 )

    anon = Class.new {
        const_set :Const, "Anons Const"
    }

   Const = "Outer Const"
   class A; end

   anon.class_eval {
        def A.I_am_picking_up_the_Outer_Const
            p Const
         end
  }
  anon.class_eval  %{
        def A.I_am_picking_up_Anons_Const
            p Const
         end
  }

A.I_am_picking_up_the_Outer_Const  # => "Outer Const"
A.I_am_picking_up_Anons_Const  # => "Anons Const"
