Re: [Ironruby-core] Lowercase classname

Jimmy,

I wasn''t aware I could pull the classes and namespaces that way, so I
am
actually super glad this opportunity exists.  Understanding that IronRuby
should be syntactically be the same, I''d like to offer that
it''d be "ideal"
(for me at least) if this conversion happened more seamlessly (perhaps a
special require option?).  That is-- when I pull in a .net application
it''d
be nice if the boiler plate code to correct the namespacing / object rules
could generated by using the metadata of the assembly and some proper casing
code.

I perhaps could even write this myself if anyone else thought it be useful,
though I cannot commit to a timeline :)

I agree with this, maybe:

require ''clr-library'', :mangle => false

or perhaps:

require ''clr-library'', :mangler => ThisMangler

Something like this would always fix any possible problems with
mangling. (especially since #methods does not return the clr methods)
Though if you argue that the mangling process is so simple and not
error prone at all (the #methods problem being the only one so far?)
such an option would be obsolete.

Greetings,
Tinco
