Feature #3727: rb_f_require_relative not included in Ruby API

=begin
Now that Ruby no longer includes the current directory in $: as of Ruby 1.9.2, those of us using the C API cannot use rb_require() to require a file in the same directory as our native code without adding the current directory to $:.

However, since this is not a good practice, we should be able to access rb_f_require_relative() from the C API. Unfortunately, this function is defined in load.c, but is not available in any files within /usr/local/include/ruby.

I believe this function, or perhaps a function named rb_require_relative() (to be consistent with the C API naming conventions) should be added to ruby.h.

My apologies if there is something that I have missed.

Hi,

we do not have rb_f_require_relative now so
if you need one, we need some use cases for
it to make a spec. Do you have one?

I think it is difficult to determine the base directory of relative directory in C.
