IronRuby is a module already defined in standard library. It gives you access to a bunch of useful APIs, including name mangling:
>>> IronRuby.singleton_methods => ["configuration", "globals", "load", "loaded_assemblies", "loaded_scripts", "require", 'create_runtime', 'create_engine', 'create_ruby_setup', 'get_engine', 'require_file', 'get_execution_context'] >>> IronRuby.constants => ["Clr", "Print"] >>> IronRuby::Clr.constants => ["BigInteger", "FlagEnumeration", "Float", "Integer", "MultiDimensionalArray", "String", "Name", "Scope"] >>> IronRuby::Clr::Name.singleton_methods(false) => ["clr_to_ruby", "mangle", "ruby_to_clr", "unmangle"] >>> include IronRuby::Clr >>> Name.mangle("FooBar") => "foo_bar" >>> Name.unmangle("my_foo") => "MyFoo" Re loading IronRuby.dll - the problem is that IronRuby is also a namespace in IronRuby.dll so there is a name conflict we don't probably handle the best we could. Loading IronRuby.dll shouldn't be a common scenario though. The best place for IronRuby specific functionality is in the IronRuby module. If you're missing some let us know.

Not sure if that means your version of IR is different to mine, or what?
