Subject: RubyGems for a Library

I've written a library that I plan to distribute as a RubyGem, but I
think it's a little crazy to require all users of this library to do

  require 'rubygems'  # or RUBY_OPT="-rubygems"
  require_gem 'oscar'

Can't I tell RubyGems to install my gem straight to the RUBY_LIB
directory instead of having it go into its own separate folder? 
Ideally, users should install my library and then just do "require
'oscar' "

I think the separate folders are fine for applications, but for
libraries, I don't really see how they help.

Bill
