Bug #6838: class_eval and instance_eval do not scope class names the same as direct code

class X
   def self.f()
      puts "::X"
   end
end


class Y
   class X
      def self.f()
         puts "Y::X"
      end
   end
   
   def self.c()
      X.f()
   end
end


Y.class_eval do
   def self.k()
      X.f()
   end
end


Y.c
Y.class_eval { X.f() }
Y.k


====

Y.c outputs "Y::X"
Y.class_eval { X.f() } outputs "::X"
Y.k also outputs "::X"

Similar behaviour happens with instance_eval:

====

class X
   def f()
      puts "::X"
   end
end


class Y
   class X
      def f()
         puts "Y::X"
      end
   end
   
   def c()
      X.new.f()
   end
end


Y.new.c
Y.new.instance_eval { X.new.f() }

====

My expectation is that class_eval and instance_eval should map class names the same as code written directly in the class, as they do with function names.
