[ruby-core:83505] [Ruby trunk Feature#2710] Kernel#load loads a relative path

Issue #2710 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


Closing this because of no discussion for seven years.  I think it is too late to change the behavior just for consistency.

 It was my understanding that Kernel#require was changed to not load a relative path because of a security issue (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/24155). Does this security issue not apply to Kernel#load, too? Have I misunderstood the expected behavior?
 
 $ cat a.rb 
 puts 1
 
 $ cat b.rb 
 load 'a.rb'
 require 'a.rb'
 
 $ ruby1.8.7 -v b.rb
