Yes, I guess so. I can't find any documentation on it, but I know it is

ruby -e 'require "etc"' 

works.

I don't see any reference to it in the Built-in Classes and Methods or
Standard Library in the Pickaxe, or am I not looking hard enough?

Sure enough. Not sure why I didn't see it the first time. I see it is the
first entry, guess I was going too fast and got sloppy. 

Thanks for the pointers! That knocks those off the list.
