I'd like to see all require features backported (including require_relative)
and the new behavior that eliminates the possibility of the same paths
described differently being treated differently.

Background:<br>
currently with 1.8.x the same file required with a different path<br>
[surprisingly] loads twice:<br>
<br>
require &#39;./filename&#39; # loads it once<br>
require &#39;../parent_dir/filename&#39; # loads it again<br>
<br>
This is surprising.<br>
<br>
This is &quot;fixed&quot; in 1.9.x<br>
<br>
My request is a backport of this functionality to 1.8<br>
Reason: so that implementing things like require_relative in 1.7 is<br>
more straight-forward and less error-prone.<br>

Thoughts?<br>
