+#### for_gem_extension
+
+Let's suppose you are writing a gem to extend `Net::HTTP` with some niche feature. By [convention](https://guides.rubygems.org/name-your-gem/):
+
+* The gem should be called `net-http-niche_feature`. That is, hyphens for the extended part, a hyphen, and underscores for yours.
+* The namespace should be `Net::HTTP::NicheFeature`.
+* The entry point should be `lib/net/http/niche_feature.rb`.
+* Optionally, the gem could have a top-level `lib/net-http-niche_feature.rb`, but, if defined, that one should have just a `require` call for the entry point.
+
+The top-level file mentioned in the last point is optional. In particular, from
+
+```ruby
+gem "net-http-niche_feature"
+```
+
+if the hyphenated file does not exist, Bundler notes the conventional hyphenated pattern and issues a `require` for `net/http/niche_feature`.
+
+Gem extensions following the conventions above have a dedicated loader constructor: `Zeitwerk::Loader.for_gem_extension`.
+
+The structure of the gem would be like this:
+
+```ruby
+# lib/net-http-niche_feature.rb (optional)
+
+# For technical reasons, this cannot be require_relative.
+require "net/http/niche_feature"
+
+
+# lib/net/http/niche_feature.rb
+
+require "net/http"
+require "zeitwerk"
+
+loader = Zeitwerk::Loader.for_gem_extension(Net::HTTP)
+loader.setup
+
+module Net::HTTP::NicheFeature
+  # Since the setup has been performed, at this point we are already able
+  # to reference project constants, in this case Net::HTTP::NicheFeature::MyMixin.
+  include MyMixin
+end
+
+
+# lib/net/http/niche_feature/version.rb
+
+module Net::HTTP::NicheFeature
+  VERSION = "1.0.0"
+end
+```
+
+`Zeitwerk::Loader.for_gem_extension` expects as argument the namespace being extended, which has to be a non-anonymous class or module object.
+
+If it exists, `lib/net/http/niche_feature/version.rb` is expected to define `Net::HTTP::NicheFeature::VERSION`.
+
+Due to technical reasons, the entry point of the gem has to be loaded with `Kernel#require`. Loading that file with `Kernel#load` or `Kernel#require_relative` won't generally work. This is important if you load the entry point from the optional hyphenated top-level file.
+
+`Zeitwerk::Loader.for_gem_extension` is idempotent when invoked from the same file, to support gems that want to reload (unlikely).

+Overrides have to match exactly directory or file (without extension) _basenames_. For example, if you configure
+
+```ruby
+loader.inflector.inflect("xml" => "XML")
+```
+
+then the following constants are expected:
+
+```
+xml.rb         -> XML
+foo/xml        -> Foo::XML
+foo/bar/xml.rb -> Foo::Bar::XML
+```
+
+As you see, any directory whose basename is exactly `xml`, and any file whose basename is exactly `xml.rb` are expected to define the constant `XML` in the corresponding namespace. On the other hand, partial matches are ignored. For example, `xml_parser.rb` would be inflected as `XmlParser` because `xml_parser` is not equal to `xml`. You'd need an additional override:
+
+```ruby
+loader.inflector.inflect(
+  "xml"        => "XML",
+  "xml_parser" => "XMLParser"
+)
+```
+
+If you need more flexibility, you can define a custom inflector, as explained down below.
+
 Overrides need to be configured before calling `setup`.
 
- The inflectors of different loaders are independent of each other. There are no global inflection rules or global configuration that can affect this inflector. It is deterministic.

+
+Given a path as a string or `Pathname` object, `Zeitwerk::Loader#cpath_expected_at` returns a string with the corresponding expected constant path.
+
+Some examples, assuming that `app/models` is a root directory:
+
+```ruby
+loader.cpath_expected_at("app/models")                  # => "Object"
+loader.cpath_expected_at("app/models/user.rb")          # => "User"
+loader.cpath_expected_at("app/models/hotel")            # => "Hotel"
+loader.cpath_expected_at("app/models/hotel/billing.rb") # => "Hotel::Billing"
+```
+
+If `collapsed` is a collapsed directory:
+
+```ruby
+loader.cpath_expected_at("a/b/collapsed/c") # => "A::B::C"
+loader.cpath_expected_at("a/b/collapsed")   # => "A::B", edge case
+loader.cpath_expected_at("a/b")             # => "A::B"
+```
+
+If the argument corresponds to an [ignored file or directory](#ignoring-parts-of-the-project), the method returns `nil`. Same if the argument is not managed by the loader.
+
+`Zeitwerk::Error` is raised if the given path does not exist:
+
+```ruby
+loader.cpath_expected_at("non_existing_file.rb") # => Zeitwerk::Error
+```
+
+`Zeitwer::NameError` is raised if a constant path cannot be derived from it:
+
+```ruby
+loader.cpath_expected_at("8.rb") # => Zeitwerk::NameError
+```
+
+This method does not parse file contents and does not guarantee files define the returned constant path. It just says which is the _expected_ one.
