Bug #7865: A required file is not added to $LOADED_FEATURES until after it has run

=begin
Required files are not added to $LOADED_FEATURES until after they have been executed.

This is easily demonstrated with two files, a.rb and b.rb:

a.rb

require "./b"
p $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/b.rb/).any?

b.rb

p $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/b.rb/).any?

Running (({a.rb})) should print:

true
true

But it current prints:

false
true
=end

Matz issue?
or other can judge it?

This behavior is same as 1.9.3 or before. So it is not a compatibility issue.

=begin
It's an intended behavior, not a bug.
When an exception raised while loading, the feature won't be added to
(({$LOADED_FEATURES})).
And, it hasn't been loaded yet, has it?

If you want to know what features are now getting loaded, you should
suppose new feature, e.g. (({$LOADING_FEATURES})).
