I think that's a developer issue and not a RubyGems problem. This discussion is also raised in rspec-devel list, and the goal is change the top level module from 'spec' to 'rspec' to match the gem name. But that's a developer or team decision and RubyGems should not play magic for you and be transparent as possible. If you have 200 gems installed is very expensive just for RubyGems the first require to determine in which gem the file exist to be able to require it... Just my two cents. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
