I'm not sure why this ticket has been reopened, but if it's because of the following comment, this ticket can be closed, because the request has already been rejected in #7213.

Bug #3422: Object.const_get(:A, false) can access BasicObject::A

=begin
 From the documentation of Module#const_get(sym, inherit=true):
 
   If the constant is not defined or is defined by the ancestors and inherit is false, NameError will be raised.
 
 Yet, this works fine:
 
   BasicObject::A = 1
   Object.const_get(:A, false) # => 1
 
 While I haven't tested it, I believe the attached patch should fix the issue.
