require 'foo' will always load the version from RubyGems, if you're
referring to that. Once you require 'rubygems', it overrides
Kernel.require and it is no longer possible to load the files in the
standard library dir, unless you use the GEM_SKIP env. variable.

ruby -rubygems foo   is equivalent to doing a require 'rubygems'...
