Add #constantize and #foreign_key #13

Closed abinoam closed 6 years ago

I have simplified constantize to just a Object.const_get.

Note: #constantize is here just for back compatibility with other libraries. It's much better to use the plain #const_get because it will use the current context.

module Dry
  class Inflector
    VERSION = "0.1.0"

    const_get("VERSION") #=> "0.1.0"
    Object.const_get("VERSION") #=> NameError: uninitialized constant VERSION
    inflector.constantize("VERSION") #=> Don't work either, because uses Object.const_get
  end
end

For Symbols as input, const_get already takes Symbols foreign_key uses demodulize that already does the to_s conversion.
