rspec users - Oct 2007 - Alternate File "require" line in TextMate bundle

Ok, this is INCREDIBLY finicky of me, and I''m a really finicky person  
at the best of times, but I noticed that when you use the TM  
Alternate File command to create specs, it does it with a header line  
like this:

   File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../../spec_helper''

I use a header line like this

   require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), *%w 
[.. .. .. spec_helper.rb]))

(Think I nicked it from some of David''s code)

Does the former expose you to loading the spec_helper twice under any  
circumstances?  Just wondered, as I had to check there was nothing  
going on in my spec_helper that shouldn''t be run more than once

I answered my own question - autotest will barf if it is forced to  
require something twice that shouldn''t be.  As it happens,
it''s the
facets monkey-patch I posted earlier, which causes a stack overflow  
because of the way it redefines a method.

Is this worth filing a ticket for?
