The gotcha (for me) was

if RUBY_VERSION > '1.8'
 # 1.9 stuff
end

Which didn't blend well with my mind, because after discovering this
is wrong, you think to youself 'how do I do it right, then?'

The answer appears to be (after some help from the users here)

if RUBY_VERSION >= '1.9.0'

or

if RUBY_VERSION > '1.9'

But does it blend? LOL
