- * In the next example when a reference is made to an undefined constant,
- * it attempts to load a file whose name is the lowercase version of the
- * constant (thus class <code>Fred</code> is assumed to be in file
- * <code>fred.rb</code>).  If found, it returns the loaded class. It
- * therefore implements an autoload feature similar to Kernel#autoload and
- * Module#autoload.
+ * As the example above shows, +const_missing+ is not required to create the
+ * missing constant in <i>mod</i>, though that is often a side-effect. The
+ * caller gets its return value when triggered. If the constant is also defined,
+ * further lookups won't hit +const_missing+ and will return the value stored in
+ * the constant as usual. Otherwise, +const_missing+ will be invoked again.

+ * In the next example, when a reference is made to an undefined constant,

+ * method returns the value stored in the constant. This implements an autoload
