## Can't access class variable directly with class inheritance
If one child class inherits from a parent class, and the child class sets a class variable, the parent class can't access the class variable literal:
```
class Parent
def self.class_var
puts @@class_var
end
end
class Child < Parent
@@class_var = "class_var"
end
Child.class_var
# => test.rb:3:in `class_var': uninitialized class variable @@class_var in Parent (NameError)
```
Confusingly, if we use `class_variable_get` (method lookup) to access `@@class_var`, we can access it as expected. We can alter the snippet from above to see this behavior:
```
class Parent
def self.class_var
puts class_variable_get(:@@class_var)
puts @@class_var
end
end
class Child < Parent
@@class_var = "class_var"
end
Child.class_var
# => "class_var"
# => test.rb:4:in `class_var': uninitialized class variable @@class_var in Parent (NameError)
```
## Is this desired behavior?
`self` is the subclass so it seems like the class variable should be looked up on the receiver. Why is the method lookup resolution different than the literal? Should it be different?
