[ruby-core:23239] Re: What do you think about changing the return value of Kernel#require and Kernel#load to the source encoding of the required file?

I think it may be better to introduce a new method Kernel#lib_encoding. 
It will be called with one parameter, a String containing the library 
name in the same format as for Kernel#load or Kernel#require.

This method will look for the named library and return an encoding, if 
it is an Ruby source (it has an extension of 'rb' or 'rbw') or nil, if 
it is somethong else (binary).

This method will not do the work of require/load, it will only take a 
look for the encoding.
