README

          
== Description

Provides an easy way of using/sharing Ruby extension libraries (think activesupport) with a bias to monkeypatch-agnostic

extensions. {Read this}[http://http://tagaholic.me/2009/01/can-we-share-our-extensions-without.html]

for an explanation of why.

== Examples

Using {my extension library}[http://github.com/cldwalker/my_core] for these examples

  irb>> require 'core'; require 'my_core'

  true

  irb>> Core.default_library = MyCore

  MyCore

  irb>> Core.extends Array

  true

  irb>> Array.ancestors

  => [Array, MyCore::Array, Enumerable, Object, PP::ObjectMixin, Kernel]

== Limitations

Checks for method name collisions currently use \*instance\_methods and *methods of a class.

Patches for more thorough checks are welcome.

== Todo

* Config file to save/load your often used extensions

* Support loading multiple files ie multiple methods under a class directory ie

  activesupport/facets-like.

* Make it easier to share (a la sake) and use core extensions made by others.

* Provide aliasing for methods to bypass method name clashes.

* Use Ruby2Ruby to handpick methods to extend.
