Thank you, but that would only work if the constant isn't defined. Maybe
I wasn't being clear: I want to override a constant within an object
with a method.

  class Bar
  end

  class Foo
    def Bar
    end

    def some_method
      Bar.something # this resolves to constant Bar, not method Bar
    end
  end
