I'd propose to create a top-level Ruby module for this, so we have
a Ruby::Loader class (and Ruby::Version, see later on)

I'd like to point out earlier work on this subject, see
[ruby-talk:5613] (Please disregard section 2.1, it's dainbramaged).
The thread also discusses versioning of .so's (with predefined
functions). It also mentions the issue of having multiple versions of
libraries on the loadpath, which still needs to be dealt with.

IIRC it was Aleksi who suggested to put all version info in a class,
which seems like a sound idea.

BTW: did anyone hear anything from Aleksi since he moved to Finland?
