Sorry, i am describe not clear.

I am not use ``gem install looksee`` way to install gem, because i need "looksee" gem can be 
requireable for my all ruby version, my all ruby project, or any  ???.rb file.

following is my process:

1. copy all gem's file into ``/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib``

cd  ``/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib``, assume we get following file list.

 ������ $ tree
looksee.rb
looksee
��������� adapter
���   ��������� base.rb
���   ��������� rubinius.rb
��������� adapter.rb
��������� clean.rb
��������� columnizer.rb
��������� core_ext.rb
��������� editor.rb
��������� help.rb
��������� inspector.rb
��������� JRuby.jar
��������� lookup_path.rb
��������� mri.2.1.0.so
��������� mri.2.2.0.so
��������� mri.2.3.0.so
��������� mri.2.4.0.so
��������� mri.2.5.0.so
��������� mri.2.6.0.so
��������� mri.2.7.0.so
��������� version.rb

2.  Add ``/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib`` into ``$RUBYLIB`` ENV.

3.  ``require "looksee"`` in irb or any ruby file directly,  please see following $LOAD_PATH.

```rb
irb(main):001:0> puts $LOAD_PATH
/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib        # <= Please see this first one.
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0/x86_64-linux
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.7.0
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.7.0/x86_64-linux
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/2.7.0
/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/2.7.0/x86_64-linux
```

In fact, when i do "require "looksee"', i want to require this:

```sh
/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib/looksee.rb
```
i thought many portable/independent ruby program need work this way, right?
e.g.  traveling_ruby

4.  Above solution work well since 2.0 i think, until update to 2.6.x, all working very well.
but not working for Ruby 2.7 only.

I guess maybe some change for new #require method, or #autoload, broken this.

Thank you.

Bug #16462: Ruby 2.7 autoload not working with $RUBYLIB (maybe circular dependency error)

* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I don't know how to exactly describe this issue, following is try to reproduce.

We can use a gem named "looksee", it was supported ruby 2.7 ready.
same issue happen on several gem,  looksee is just for a sample for describe this issue.


1) i change $RUBYLIB ENV  locally for use some gem easy. (globally used by all my own local project)

```sh
 ������ 17:41  zw963 ��� ~ ��� ��� ruby-2.7.0
 ������ $ echo $RUBYLIB
/home/zw963/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib
```

2) Following is my directory content for my ~/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib, code is working.

```sh
 ������ $ tree
looksee.rb
looksee
��������� adapter
������� ��������� base.rb
������� ��������� rubinius.rb
��������� adapter.rb
��������� clean.rb
��������� columnizer.rb
��������� core_ext.rb
��������� editor.rb
��������� help.rb
��������� inspector.rb
��������� JRuby.jar
��������� lookup_path.rb
��������� mri.2.1.0.so
��������� mri.2.2.0.so
��������� mri.2.3.0.so
��������� mri.2.4.0.so
��������� mri.2.5.0.so
��������� mri.2.6.0.so
��������� mri.2.7.0.so
��������� version.rb
```

3) let us run Irb, puts $LOAD_PATH, and require 'looksee'

```sh
 ������ 17:52  zw963 ��� ~/Dropbox/common/ruby/lib ��� ��� (f99118fef) test *$%  ��� ruby-2.7.0
 ������ $ RUBYOPT= irb -f
irb(main):001:0> puts $LOAD_PATH

/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0/lib/ruby/2.7.0/x86_64-linux
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> require 'looksee'
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError (uninitialized constant Looksee::Adapter)
irb(main):003:0>
irb(main):002:0>
```

4) the reason cause this is, i guess, following code is not working, some **circular dependency** was happen.

```rb
module Looksee
  ...
  autoload :Adapter, 'looksee/adapter'
  ...
end
```

Please check the source code here:
https://github.com/oggy/looksee/blob/master/lib/looksee/clean.rb#L12


5) if ``require "looksee/adapter"`` directly, it working.

```rb
 ������ $ RUBYOPT= irb -f
irb(main):001:0> require 'looksee/adapter'
=> true
```

But, if ``require "looksee"`` first, then ``require "looksee/adapter"``, still broken.

```sh
 ������ $ RUBYOPT= irb -f
irb(main):001:0> require 'looksee'
