Ok, then there has to be "recommended" way to "invoke" the unit testing 
functionality in irb.  I find irb extremely useful in learning ruby. 
Also, I am loading file(s) in irb all the time, so "load is rarely used" 
does not make much sense to me.  perhaps you meant to say that "load" is 
rarely used in a regular script?  Also, I am a bit puzzled over why I 
cannot "load" a ruby built-in fuctionality into irb (such as unit 
testing).  Note that I don't have a particular preference for using load 
versus require.  However, to me, load seems to work better in irb and 
require is what I use in a regular script.

Please comment.
Thanks.
Bharat
