Description

Module#const_get accepts non-nested string, nested string, and non-nested symbol:

class A; class B; class C end end end

A.const_get("B")    # => A::B
A.const_get("B::C") # => A::B::C
A.const_get(:B)     # => A::B

but does not accept nested symbol:

A.const_get(:"B::C") # => NameError: wrong constant name B::C

I would like this to be made possible.
