Subject: require 'aDir'

Has this been discussed in the past?

setting Kernel.require to recursively require a dir if passed a
directory, as in:

require 'aDir'

This would load all libraries within 'aDir', as if you did something
like:

def recursive_require( filename )
    if File.stat(filename).directory?
        Dir[filename].entries.each { |entry|
            recursive_require( entry )
        }
    else
        require filename
    end
end

Does this sound stinky, or nice?

Note that the above code doesn't work, there's a some fiddling with
the prefixes that would be necessary, as well as dealing with the
different library dirs in $:  I just threw it in to get the idea
across.
