[Radiant] Shards and loading same-named Rails views

[Sean Cribbs]

This is a known issue, and has more to do with Rails than Shards.  It 
will not be resolved, but should be documented because the workaround is 
simple.  I would suggest naming the partials something that refers back 
to your extension, like _aaa_css_overrides.rhtml for example.
