Andrew,
Not sure I follow. IronRuby does support this via DotNetClassName =
Object.const_get("lower_case_dotnet_class_name"), so you don't need to
change your code. This is an issue because of Ruby itself; classes are
required to be Ruby constants, which syntactically can only start with an
upper-case letter. Since IronRuby is syntactically equivalent to Ruby, we
will not remove this rule. Instead, we either suggest changing your C# code,
or if you can't, use const_get. WRT your IronPython comment, it doesn't have
this issue because the Python language doesn't enforce a naming scheme on
type names.
