Yes of cousre, "require_relative"

"require_relative(_to_this_file)" in a single word, ideally with 7
chars

This is the topic.

Is it really so difficult for you people to solve a given problem,
even if you personally don't agree that it is a problem?

-

locally 'lib/alter' # locally located file
include 'lib/alter' # the commonly known "include"
uniload 'lib/alter' # universal load

request 'lib/alter' # like require_relative, but uses the path
relative to the current file

one more

relative 'lib/alter' #

.
