Description-en: backports of new features for older versions of Ruby
This Ruby library contains essential backports that enable many of the nice
features of Ruby 1.8.7 up to 2.0.0 for earlier versions.
.
Features are backported with the following limitations:
- will not break older code,
- can be implemented in pure Ruby (no C extensions),
- must pass RubySpec.
