Also I would like you to name which library specifically causes this problem :)
Whenever I read it, people seem to make up contrived problems - and do not give any example.
I would like specific examples please where this interferes with your code.
So far it simply did not interfere with my own ruby code, and I have written really a lot over the 5 years here, including my own bigger "alternative" to gems. (I wanted to release it, but I was lazy and always felt it is easier to use my own idioms. The problem with this approach is that, while it really makes creating something super fast, I would either have to unbundle everything again so I can distribute it, or bundle everything. Both things have huge problems, because if i unbundle everything it will take quite some time to rewrite things really "cleanly" enough for _other_ people. For my personal needs it is totally fine. And if I would distribute things "bundled" together, which means I could release today, then people would simply complain that there are so many things "bundled" together they simply wont need.
I don't have any good ruby examples, but I've been bitten by namespace trampling behaviors in perl and php long enough to know that any code importing in languages I use need to make it explicit when that's occurring.

Complaining people are annoying.
i know because I am one of them)
