Can nested classes reference themselves?
Post Body
I expected that a nested class can reference itself without having to reference its enclosing modules. This doesn't appear to be the case though:
module Foo; end
=> nil
module Foo::Bar
class Baz; end;
end
=> nil
class Baz
def say
"::Baz"
end
end
=> nil
class Foo::Bar::Baz
def say; "::Foo::Bar::Baz"; end;
def x; Baz.new.say; end
end
=> nil
# expected "Foo::Bar::Baz"
Foo::Bar::Baz.new.x
=> "::Baz"
Have I misunderstood how constants work?
