See ri 'Kernel#require'.

  If the file has the extension ``.rb'', it is loaded as a source file;
  if the extension is ``.so'', ``.o'', or ``.dll'', or whatever the
  default shared library extension is on the current platform, Ruby
  loads the shared library as a Ruby extension.
  Otherwise, Ruby tries adding ``.rb'', ``.so'', and so on to the name.
