Hello,
 One thing is that we have to distinguish between features and quirks.
We also have to think about that which explicity defaults in just
knowing the Runtime and Platform. If Platform::Windows9x,
Platform::WindowsNT, Platform::OpenVMS, Platform::Linux2.4.x |
Platform::JVM | Platform::CLR] forms can be used that might be good.
Good day.

Mmm, why don't use the current available keywords?

if defined? FeatureSet::Threading::Native
  # ...
else
  # ...
end


Now we are under that road, what about the dread fork() on Windows?

NotImplementedError: fork() function is unimplemented on this machine

fork { ... } if defined? FeatureSet::Process:Fork
