I agree that FeatureSet:: can be too verbose and can get a bit messy
over time, but :windows_vista don't tell me nothing, :fork alone
neither.

Again, I think we are going beyond the idea of matz about
RUBY_IMPLEMENTATION or RUBY_ENGINE functionality and dealing with
something that should be taked in consideration in core and not by
extended features like this.

Example: fork shouldn't be available / defined on platforms it doesn't
support, but instead it just raises an exception on Windows.

Is known that RUBY_PLATFORM don't proivde enough information for users
to determine which functionality will use at runtime, but again, what
is the original intention of RUBY_ENGINE/RUBY_IMPLEMENTATION or
RUBY_FEATURES?

It is just exposes differences of features and implementations like
JRuby and Rubinius about native threads and continuations, or is just
a fancy label to to tag and serve as statistical purposes?
