Subject: Loading multiple files with the same name

Ruby programs (such as RubyGems) can load multiple source files with the same base name (ifthey are in different directories).

Eg:
  require 'A\foo'
  require 'B\foo'

Each of these source files may have already been separately compiled into an assembly.
So, directory A might contain an assembly, presumably named foo.dll, as might directory B.

If these assembly files are named foo.dll, then presumably the assemblies will be named "foo".

.NET doesn't allow two assemblies with the same name to be loaded in the same app domain.

This seems to imply that we need to strongly name all of our generated assemblies;
and that we will need to use a different (randomly generated) key for signing each assembly.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

Can anyone think of an alternative?

Cheers, Wayne.
