# We are going to decorate Kernel#require with two goals.
#
# First, by intercepting Kernel#require calls, we are able to autovivify
# modules on required directories, and also do internal housekeeping when
# managed files are loaded.
#
# On the other hand, if you publish a new version of a gem that is now managed
# by Zeitwerk, client code can reference directly your classes and modules and
# should not require anything. But if someone has legacy require calls around,
# they will work as expected, and in a compatible way. This feature is by now
# EXPERIMENTAL and UNDOCUMENTED.
#
# We cannot decorate with prepend + super because Kernel has already been
# included in Object, and changes in ancestors don't get propagated into
# already existing ancestor chains.

# By now, I have seen no way so far to decorate require_relative.
#
# For starters, at least in CRuby, require_relative does not delegate to
# require. Both require and require_relative delegate the bulk of their work
# to an internal C function called rb_require_safe. So, our require wrapper is
# not executed.
#
# On the other hand, we cannot use the aliasing technique above because
# require_relative receives a path relative to the directory of the file in
# which the call is performed. If a wrapper here invoked the original method,
# Ruby would resolve the relative path taking lib/zeitwerk as base directory.
#
# A workaround could be to extract the base directory from caller_locations,
# but what if someone else decorated require_relative before us? You can't
# really know with certainty where's the original call site in the stack.
#
# However, the main use case for require_relative is to load files from your
# own project. Projects managed by Zeitwerk don't do this for files managed by
# Zeitwerk, precisely.
