ActiveSupport::Inflector#safe_constantize

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

  'Module'.safe_constantize     # => Module
  'Test::Unit'.safe_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'.safe_constantize # => 'outside', same as ::C
  end

+nil+ is returned when the name is not in CamelCase or the constant (or
part of it) is unknown.

  'blargle'.safe_constantize  # => nil
  'UnknownModule'.safe_constantize  # => nil
  'UnknownModule::Foo::Bar'.safe_constantize  # => nil
