  # A module gets a name when it is first assigned to a constant. Either
  # via the +module+ or +class+ keyword or by an explicit assignment:
  #
  #   m = Module.new # creates an anonymous module
  #   M = m          # => m gets a name here as a side-effect
  #   m.name         # => "M"

    # Uses blank? because the name of an anonymous class is an empty
    # string in 1.8, and nil in 1.9.
