Yeah I wish active support would just go away.  It seems unstable, even 
today.

So my thought for core would be to suggest either require_relative 
'lib/a.rb' or perhaps require 'directory_name' which (like Python) loads 
directory_name/init.rb or what not.

My preference would be advocate require_relative, having never seemed to 
miss the require 'directory_name'

Thoughts?
