not only that but, on osx for one, case in-sensitive file names means  
that, regardless of whether you require 'english' or 'English', the  
first one of either type in your loadpath will be loaded:

cfp:~ > ruby -I . -r english -e 42
42

cfp:~ > ruby -I . -r English -e 42
42

so i think that users of osx will not even be able to load that via  
gems since the built-in English will be picked up first.
