Thinking about 'ri/ri' and 'rdoc/rdoc', I was going to suggest a
compromise; until I found this on my (Win32) install:

< \lib\ruby\1.8\drb.rb >
require 'drb/drb'
</>

*Exactly* what I was going to suggest.

require 'drb'
  ... does ...  require 'drb/drb'

A separate directory for the maintainer and no need
for the user to remember to type 'NewYork/NewYork' [1].
