Since you ask, I don't think it is intuitive that a qualified constant
reference like MyModule::Object searches the toplevel scope. Ruby
issues an unconditional warning when this happens, so I guess neither
do you. Why not just change ruby to not search the toplevel scope for
qualified constant references? I would think few existing applications
rely on the existing behaviour.
