Two new RubySpec failures pointed at a behavioral flaw in our constant lookup. Specifically, we bailed out of lexical lookup at the first cref == Object. The correct behavior is to avoid searching the topmost lexical scope (toplevel) but to still search Object-based cref lexical scopes lower in the search. I have a fix prepared. Here is the two failures from the specs:

1)
Constant resolution within methods with statically assigned constants searches Object as a lexical scope only if Object is explicitly opened FAILED
Expected :const20_2
 to equal :const20_1

spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:199
spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:149
spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:54:in `load'

2)
Constant resolution within methods with dynamically assigned constants searches Object as a lexical scope only if Object is explicitly opened FAILED
Expected :const211_2
 to equal :const211_1

spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:294
spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:149
spec/ruby/language/constants_spec.rb:54:in `load'
