You can use this syntax, too. "args" becomes an array of all arguments given.

This strikes me as somewhat odd.  As far as I've noticed, TLNs tend to
be nouns, or maybe adjectives if they're intended to be used as
mixins.  That would point more towards Loader or Wedge or Loadable.
Maybe Wedgie?  ;-)

Yeah, the Ruby community does seem to appreciate a good pun.  (I often
refer to having missed the Java boat, and trying to sneak onto the
Ruby yacht.)  This one has the added advantage of being actually
somewhat descriptive, as it does have something to do with loading.

If you want to distinguish your gem from others having to do with
loading, I'd stay away from names as generic as Load or Loader.  If
you can describe your "wedge" as some kind of particular technique,
you could just call it Wedge... or if you still want a touch of
whimsy, go for Wedgie.  That opens the (trap)door to all kinds of
horrible puns.... ;-)

One of these years, I intend to take some of the fairly complex
presentation logic I did in making a Game of Life in an arbitrary
number of dimensions, and package it up in a gem that could be used
for all kinds of N-dimensional calculation and presentation.  Since it
has to do with dimensions, I've been considering names like Dimwit,
Dimsum, Dimmerswitch, and so on.  (If anybody wants to see the Life
game, it's at https://github.com/davearonson/N-Dimensional-Life/.)
