 If you use rb_define_module_under() to create a new module in a different
 module, it will fail if the new modules name is the same as a Cocoa class
 (e.g. "NSString"):
 {{{
 mTest = rb_define_module("Test");
 rb_define_module_under(mTest, "NSString");
 // TypeError: Test::NSString:Class is not a module
 }}}

 The weird part is that this will not fail if you wrote the code in pure
 Ruby:
 {{{
 module Test
   module NSString
   end
 end
 }}}

 This is an inconsistency.
