[ruby-core:111508] Data support for versions before 3.2.0

I was wondering that every piece of code (gems, etc) that use the new Data =
object from now on will demand a mandatory upgrade to >=3D 3.2.0. It's a go=
od thing upgrade the language versions, but often we can't do it for many r=
easons and would love to use the new code (updated or new gems) on our proj=
ects current versions.

On the original Data PR I saw one of the reasons asking Data be a language =
feature and not a gem ("nobody will even try to use a gem for representing =
it with, unless the framework/library used already provides one"), I agree =
with that, but I'm curious if i there is any plan to support older language=
 versions, like releasing a gem to mimic main Data features into older lang=
uage versions and not force a mandatory upgrade to >=3D 3.2.0. I searched o=
n rubygems but didn't find one like that.

Btw, looks like what we had before with Fibers and Ractors, but seems to me=
 Data will have an easier and faster adoption.

Thanks.
