RCR 220: Automatic completion of Namespace

I think that's literally impossible. If you require two features that both have Command classes, there's no possibility of resolution.

I would recommend:

require 'Mycompany/Net/Pop'
include Mycompany::Net::Pop

Then Command will be part of the current namespace.

Not Really. Conflicts can be handled by using fully qualified name. Anyway how can using include help this.

Consider this:

require 'A/B/C'
require 'D/E/C'

What is C.new at this point? And does it change, depending on the order? Or depending on whether you rewrite the code and remove something?

As for include... what it does is eliminate the need to use the fully-qualified path. That was your goal, wasn't it? :-)

It's also possible to do this with simple assignment, since modules are simply objects.

require 'Mycompany/Net/Pop'
cmd = Mycompany::Net::Pop::Commands
headers = cmd.top

This way, you can even have David's example:

require 'A/B/C'
require 'D/E/C'
abc = A::B::C
dec = D::E::C
