IronRuby is a module already defined in standard library. It gives you access
to a bunch of useful APIs, including name mangling:
>>> IronRuby.singleton_methods
=> ["configuration", "globals", "load", "loaded_assemblies", "loaded_scripts",
"require", 'create_runtime', 'create_engine', 'create_ruby_setup',
'get_engine', 'require_file', 'get_execution_context']
>>> IronRuby.constants
=> ["Clr", "Print"]
>>> IronRuby::Clr.constants
=> ["BigInteger", "FlagEnumeration", "Float", "Integer",
"MultiDimensionalArray", "String", "Name", "Scope"]
>>> IronRuby::Clr::Name.singleton_methods(false)
=> ["clr_to_ruby", "mangle", "ruby_to_clr", "unmangle"]
>>> include IronRuby::Clr
>>> Name.mangle("FooBar")
=> "foo_bar"
>>> Name.unmangle("my_foo")
=> "MyFoo"
Re loading IronRuby.dll - the problem is that IronRuby is also a namespace in
IronRuby.dll so there is a name conflict we don't probably handle the best we
could. Loading IronRuby.dll shouldn't be a common scenario though. The best
place for IronRuby specific functionality is in the IronRuby module. If you're
missing some let us know.

Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Accessing classes defined in IronRuby.dll from
within IronRuby (IronRuby 1.0RC1)
I am doing load_assembly 'IronRuby', and it didn't work (the example is
copy/pasted pretty much verbatim). Not sure if that means your version of IR is
different to mine, or what?
Cheers,
