Subject: Re: Using const_missing to do automatic require

Sorry - that's something else.

Rails' automatically loads the file just by mentioning a class of that
name - you don't need to configure it anywhere.

autoload allows you to specificy once which file to load for a class.
It's no shorter than just requiring it - I guess it's a performance
boost.
