require_relative works in irb starting in Ruby 2.0:

$ irb19
irb(main):001:0> require_relative "test.rb"
LoadError: cannot infer basepath
        from (irb):1:in `require_relative'
        from (irb):1
        from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):002:0>
$ irb20
irb(main):001:0> require_relative "test.rb"
=> true
