I just wanted to point out that require and include are two very  
different beasts in Ruby.  I point this out because those names were  
stumbling blocks to me when I learned Ruby and I've seen other people  
trip up with them also.

I think the confusion comes from trying to map C's 'include' semantics  
to Ruby's 'include' or 'require' features.  This is a mistake since  
all three of those facilities are very different from one another.
