Opportunity for standardization? :) RubyGems with their version checking are doing that anyway.

Feature #18376: Version comparison API
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18376#change-94998

* Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Is there a chance to have version comparison API? For example if `Gem::Version` was extracted into `::Version`. This idea was triggered by this PR [1] and [2], where the `Gem::Version` API is used for comparing Ruby versions. While RubyGems might be available everywhere, it does not look correct to introduce dependencies on RubyGems into libraries which could run without them just fine.
