Ruby can do crazy stuff but it doesn't support one thing that C# does -
camelCase names for classes and modules (because they're eventually
constants). It just can't be done.
Taking this into consideration, what name would you expect a camelCased C#
class name get in IronRuby? its PascalCased form? and what if there are two
classes in the C# assembly, one named camelCase and the second CamelCase -
totally legit in C#... what would you expect to happen then?
It's a problematic situation and I think IronRuby goes with the right
solution here.
