I'm not sure, is this a bug or a feature ?

class Foo; @@bar = 'bar'; end
p Foo.class_eval('@@bar') # => "bar"
p Foo.class_eval { @@bar } => uninitialized class variable @@bar in Object (NameError)

It's not a bug, but an expected behavior.
The block version of class_eval doesn't affect class variable and constant lookup.
