module()public
Attempts to locate the included module object. Returns the name if not known.
The scoping rules of Ruby to resolve the name of an included module are:
-
first look into the children of the current context;
-
if not found, look into the children of included modules, in reverse inclusion order;
-
if still not found, go up the hierarchy of names.

def module
return @module if @module
# search the current context
return @name unless parent
full_name = parent.child_name(@name)
@module = RDoc::TopLevel.modules_hash[full_name]
return @module if @module
return @name if @name =~ /^::/
# search the includes before this one, in reverse order
searched = parent.includes.take_while { |i| i != self }.reverse
searched.each do |i|
inc = i.module
next if String === inc
full_name = inc.child_name(@name)
@module = RDoc::TopLevel.modules_hash[full_name]
return @module if @module
end
# go up the hierarchy of names
p = parent.parent
