The alternative is:
require "#{File.dirname __FILE__}/path/to/file_sans_rb"

I usually use this, because require_relative is so new (and undocumented)

Though someone on IRC suggest that if you do this, then you're doing

being necessary (I assume they mean for libs and projects, not necessarily
for 1 off scripts).
