Avoid relying on error messages when rescuing
When we are rescuing from an error, it's a brittle approach to do checks with regular expressions on the raised message because it may change in in the future and error messages are different across implementations. The NameError API could be improved at the MRI level but for now we need to rely on its #name. A #== check will only pass for top level constants or only when the last constant of the path is missing so we need to rely on #include? instead. For instance: begin Namespace::Foo rescue NameError => e e.name # => :Namespace end However, if the name-space already exists, only the name of the first missing constant in the path is returned (e.g. for Math::PHI, the name would be :PHI). JRuby will return a fully qualified name (:"Math::PHI"). We need to keep the == check for 1.9 compatibility since const_get will raise a NameError with a name attribute set to the given string if it's one of "::" or "".
