Subject: A few ideas/suggestions

I have had a few ideas about some new features.  Before I submit an RCR
or two, though I'd like to sound off here.  I'd like some feedback to
see if my ideas are crap, or good ideas.  

Well, first I think that it makes a lot of sense if Dir#[] accepted a
Regexp as well a String like it currently does.  String#[] already
implements something similar.  I think that Dir[/.*\.rb/] makes a lot of
sense.  

The other idea is to provide a predefined entry point for classes.
Something akin to C++ "int main()" or Java's "public static void
main(String[] args)".  If this predefined entry point existed in a class
in the script then after the file has been read the interpreter would
run the class using that predefined method.  If it didn't exist then
behavior would be what it is now.  

Any way what does everyone else think?
