The way to load Active Support changed with AS 3.0.0. I suspect your
code is loading active_support.rb, which is now really really light.
This is explained at the beginning of the Active Support Core
Extensions guide:

    http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_support_core_extensions.html#how-to-load-core-extensions

That's focused on core extensions, but if you do not want to have the
String class extended with inflection methods, the same principles
apply to non-core extensions.
