Well, that's very unfortunate. They seems to break .NET guidelines for
namespace naming. It's not compatible with Ruby language to have lowercased
namespaces since they behave like modules. Module names must start with an
upper case. We can add some API to overcome this, but it won't be pretty.
Something like
clr.class_get :foo, :bar, :baz would return class for type foo.bar.baz.
For now you can use reflection API to get the type (and Ruby class for that
type):
System::Type.get_type("foo.bar.baz").to_class
As for Int64... it prints #<System::Int64:0x000005e>, which is not particularly
useful. It should probably call ToString. I'll file a bug.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Handling C# lower case namespaces
It seems like the current version does not handle lower case namespaces when
referencing a .NET DLL. It thinks it is a method call whenever a constant
starts with lower case. It also doesn't handle non-alphabet characters such as
_ (underscore).
I'm trying to call WCF service from IronRuby via the proxies file. svcutil
converts all namespaces in the proxies file to lower case. Here's some info on
it:

I also noticed that "puts" does not output the value of Int64. However, it
does if I use Console.WriteLine in my ruby program.
