This has little to do with const_set - its essentially a
consequenz of general ``constant'' scoping rules .

---
class Foo
  def Foo.foo
    const_set 'Constant', 'just a string'
    puts self.inspect
    puts Constant
  end
  Constant = 'surprise'
end

$a = Object.new

class Bar < Foo
  def $a.show
    puts Constant
  end

end

Bar.foo
$a.show
---
Bar
surprise
just a string
