Adding to the $: variable

[Whaat]

I am finding the following code very convenient:

$;.push(some_sub_folder_in_plugins_that_contains_other_ruby_files)

Then I can use the require command for any ruby files that are in my subfolder:

require 'some_file_in_subfolder'
require 'some_other_file_in_subfolder'
etc.

Are they any reasons why I shouldn't add directories to the $: variable?

hm... that's an interesting question. That snippet looks very useful. Something SKX could use.
