Consider:

Case A)

  module A
    module B
      class C
        M
      end
    end
  end

Case B)

  module A::B
    class C
      M
    end
  end

Case C)

  class A::B::C
    M
  end

Case D)

  class X::Y::Z
    class A::B::C
      M
    end
  end

Case E)

  A::B::C::M

We have 5 examples. In every one of them Ruby resolves in a different way,
but AS::Dependencies cannot because in all of them it only knows that a
constant "M" was missing in a class whose name is "A::B::C", that's all.

In case D, for example, A::B::M should *not* be checked, but X::Y::Z::M
should be checked. The proposal fixes one case, but breaks some others
equally valid in addition to constant paths (whose detection is the
motivation for the special rule we both agree is a dubious idea).

There's no solution, in general you cannot design AS::Dependencies with
emulation in mind. It does not even lookup in "ancestor" paths!

It doesn't emulate, it cannot emulate, it has its own rules.
