Hey guys.. it's very nice that you all say the same thing, but it
doesn't work in IronRuby 1.1.1:
>>> Object.const_get "foo"
(ir):1:in `const_get': `foo' is not allowed as a constant name (NameError)
from (ir):1
If this would've worked then I wouldn't have had to ask the question
in the first place :)
Kind regards,
Tinco Andringa
