Subject: [ruby-core:21579] [Feature #1046] request: ability to run without specifying .rb

Issue #1046 has been updated by Roger Pack.

The answer is perhaps unsatisfying.  I find the convenience of not having to include the extension on 'require' commands very appealing and would like to extend its use.  I can't think of a reason why this would hurt ruby.  Are there any drawbacks? And it would be useful, at least for me.  One less tab to hit.  I don't want to start a fight but I'm just giving feedback.  At times, in Linux it would be convenient, too [mostly when you type in the name of a ruby script, and then have to ponder for a second whether or not it has an extension, or hit tab several times to try and discover it].

Thanks for listening.
