Subject: Automatic ClassLoader (to eliminate 'require')

Hello!

QUESTION: Is there any way to attach a listener that will fires when the
interpreter encounters an unknown Class and going to raise the
NameError?

For some reason all my classes are arranged the same way as files are
(i.e. A::B::C <=> A/B/C.rb, one to one)
So, theoretically i don't really need any usage of the 'require'
keyword.

My proposal is:
When the interpreter encounters unknown Class it raises the 'NameError'.
I'm wondering is there any way to attach a listener right before it
happens (like method_missing)?

Another way:
begin
  ...
rescue NameError
  # load needed class
end
But, it's not a solution, because in this case we loose the Point of
execution.

Thanks! :)
