What's this?

load_file(path, const_paths = loadable_constants_for_path(path)) public

Load the file at the provided path. const_paths is a set of qualified constant names. When loading the file, Dependencies will watch for the addition of these constants. Each that is defined will be marked as autoloaded, and will be removed when Dependencies.clear is next called.

If the second parameter is left off, then Dependencies will construct a set of names that the file at path may define. See loadable_constants_for_path for more details.
