Access constant state variables via class name

[ethernomad]

Currently if I want to access some constants in another class I have to use the is notation to "import" the contract containing the constants into the current contract. This pollutes the namespace of the current contract.

It would be great if I could just access constant state variables in another contract directly:

className.constantThatIWant

I know you really badly want this, but creating the same issue again and again won't help implementing it: #1290 ;-)

I have labeled the other one as up-for-grabs meaning that this should be a good issue for external contributors to implement.

Ah - I couldn't find the first one!
