Chef::Mixin::ConvertToClassName#constantize

Tries to find a constant with the name specified in the argument string.

  'Module'.constantize     # => Module
  'Test::Unit'.constantize # => Test::Unit

The name is assumed to be the one of a top-level constant, no matter
whether it starts with "::" or not. No lexical context is taken into
account:

  C = 'outside'
  module M
    C = 'inside'
    C               # => 'inside'
    'C'.constantize # => 'outside', same as ::C
  end

NameError is raised when the name is not in CamelCase or the constant is
unknown.
