Shouldn't path specified by "-I" parameter appear in $LOAD_PATH?

C:>Ruby\bin\ruby.exe -Isomepath -e 'p $:.include? "somepath"'
false
=end

[vo.x (Vit Ondruch)]

=begin
It is strange that following case works.

C:>Ruby\bin\ruby.exe -I./somepath -e 'p $:.include?("./somepath")'
true

So it looks like that $LOAD_PATH is not modified as long as there is not slash present? Or may be there is some other problem ...

=begin
Paths given with -I are expanded, unless it starts with "./".

Thank you Nobu. May be documentation or Ruby -h could be more helpfull. It is not obvious behavior, especially in relation to Bug #2216.
