Subject: Dear RubyGems: Perhaps a better way to override require...

I may have found a much better way to override Kernel#require. Here's
my current code:

  require 'uri'

  module Kernel::NanoKernel

    FILE_ESC_RE = %r{[^a-zA-Z_0-9.\-]}

    def require( fpath )
      fs = fpath.split('/')
      fn = fs.pop
      dn = fs.join('/')
      dn += '/' unless dn.empty?
      en = URI.escape( File.basename( fn ), FILE_ESC_RE )
      super( "#{dn}#{en}" )
    end

  end

  class Object
    include NanoKernel
  end

I appears to work flawlessly. Agree? Or do you see a bug waiting to
bite?

Thanks,
T.
