=== Methods
Class methods (also known as module functions, see Module#module_function) may
be called directly.

Class methods may be called directly. (This is slightly confusing, but a
method on a module is often called a "class method" instead of a "module

into a class method.)
When a class method references a constant it uses the same rules as referencing
it outside the method as the scope is the same.
