i'm sure you're aware but:

cfp:~ > cat a.rb
(

   module Namespace
     X = 4
     Y = 2
   end

).freeze

Object.send :remove_const, :Namespace

Namespace = Module.new
Namespace::X = 2
Namespace::Y = 4

puts Namespace::Y, Namespace::X

cfp:~ > ruby a.rb
4
2



it's hard to get around the dynamic aspects of ruby (thankfully)  ;-)
