I know some work was put into making require 'rubygems' as
lightweight as possible, so I was a little surprised to find that
requiring rubygems into my program will also load any gem plugins

command, not for general rubygems usage.
1.9?
Demonstration:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> URL
NameError: uninitialized constant URL
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> URL
=> "http://gemcutter.org";
URL is defined in the gemcutter gem's gem plugin so that's a good
indication that gems plugins are loaded with require rubygems.
(And yes, I consider a top level, non-namespaced constant to be a
bug and have submitted a patch to gemcutter to fix that).
Comments. Is this intended, or something that slipped through the
cracks.
