require.rb
# what's the expectation for the require within constant (non global state)
# like this?
require "mary.rb"
Bob = Module.new {}
# Or this?
Bob = Module.new {
require('mary.rb')
}

I don't think Module defines a require method. I think you want

Module.new {
  module_eval(File.read("mary.rb"))
}

Which is more like load with the wrap=true flag set but more useful.

Do want to work on better_require with me.

I do, I was just trying to get the context of better_require, I was having a dig around MRI files, to see the inner workings :-)
