If something is absurd, than it's the fact that the name

"require_relative"

has made it into the core. For sure this was kind of an accident,
because everyone was busy or tired or something else.

Either it should be corrected soon to be a key*word*.

or at least, if multi-word, then it should be written more clearly:

"require_relative_to_this_file"

There are many ways to ruin a language.

Step by step, silently.
