Yes, please. ;) But, for clarity's sake:

  require 'foobar'	# foobar.so, foobar.rb and directory foobar
  require 'foobar/'	# directory foobar
  require 'foobar.*'	# foobar.so, foobar.rb

Also, with my_dir inside a load path dir, I would like
to be able to say:

  require 'my_dir/foobar'

Furthermore,

  require_local 'file.rb'  # from the same directory, regardless of pwd

and,

  use ModuleName  # require 'module_name; include ModuleName

and,

  use Module::Class # require 'module/class.rb; include Module

You can guess where the two last ones come from... ;)
