Well, it's a process and discussion. I didn't really post this as a set in stone sort of request, which is why I presented it first with a question.

You mean "cherrypicking like Facets" right? ;)

I think that's very reasonable. Ultimately I like my last suggestion, the one about having a central method that handles loading. That strikes me as a more solid design for Ruby in general. So I think I will make a more concrete proposal for that in another ticket. But short of that, then I agree. Having a standard "cherrypickable" debugging library for this would be the nicest approach.

=begin
Should #load and #require have callbacks? e.g.

  def required(path)
    ...
  end

  def loaded(path, wrap)
    ...
  end

On occasion I have wanted to do load monitoring to track down a bug. This would have made it easier.

Are there any other good use cases?
