Module Constant

A module constnat is permanently bound to a specific value. A module constant has module scope. The extent of a module constant will generally outlast its scope, since a module constant will typically be closed into a method definition. Module constants are visible to all lexically subsequent expressions, i.e., expressions occurring after the module constant definition in the source module.
