#
# If you want to require a local file or gem in irb, I like this method:
#
# irb -I lib -r usps_countries
# This allows you to then require the module in your new irb instance:
#
# require 'usps_countries'
# Options used:
#
# -I path Specify $LOAD_PATH directory
# -r load-module Same as `ruby -r'
