[ruby-core:106364] [Ruby master Feature#18376] Version comparison API

Issue #18376 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr鱈guez).


My opinion is that the right place for this functionality is RubyGems and that adding/duplicating it as builtin functionality because someone might need it before rubygems is loaded, or while using `--disable-gems` is overkill.

Feature #18376: Version comparison API

----------------------------------------
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.
