A require wrapper would be pretty slick:

module Kernel
  def wrap_require(method=nil)
     if block_given?
         @@require_wrapper = block.to_proc
     else
         @@require_wrapper = method
     end
  end

  @@old_require = method(:require)

  def require(*args)
      res = @@old_require.call(*args)
      @@require_wrapper.call(*args) if (@@require_wrapper and res)
      return res
  end
end

Dunno if it really warrants a gem though. Maybe a snippet?
