The current implementation of const_missing is not thread safe and it triggers exceptions like:

NoMethodError: undefined method `implementation' for HTTP::CookieJar::AbstractStore:Class
  /app/data/bundler/ruby/2.6.0/gems/http-cookie-1.0.3/lib/http/cookie_jar.rb:38:in `get_impl'

I tried to make that const_missing thread safe by using a mutex but I don't think it's possible because of circular dependencies.

A colleague of mine suggested that I leverage autoload which is thread safe.
