### Reachable
A named module is reachable if it is stored in its corresponding constant. It means you can reach the module object via the constant.
That is what ordinarily happens, if a module is called "M", the `M` constant exists and holds it:
```ruby
module M
end
M.reachable? # => true
```
But since constants and modules are indeed kind of decoupled, module objects can become unreachable:
```ruby
module M
end
orphan = Object.send(:remove_const, :M)
# The module object is orphan now but it still has a name.
orphan.name # => "M"
# You cannot reach it via the constant M because it does not even exist.
orphan.reachable? # => false
# Let's define a module called "M" again.
module M
end
# The constant M exists now again, and it stores a module
# object called "M", but it is a new instance.
orphan.reachable? # => false
```
NOTE: Defined in `active_support/core_ext/module/reachable.rb`.
### Anonymous
A module may or may not have a name:
