Circular load warning

[ijdickinson]

I get a circular require warning when I include json_expressions in my tests. This seems legitimate:

• requiring json_expressions/minitest requires json_expressions (line 3)
• requiring json_expressions requires json_expressions/matcher (line 1)
• requiring json_expressions/matcher requires json_expressions (line 1)

Output:

$ rake test

It's just a warning, so it doesn't stop the test running. But it looks untidy!

I'm going back through some old tickets. This is still an issue for us, but I'm going to close the ticket since there hasn't been any activity since filing.
