Subject: [ruby-core:31816] Re: [Feature #3731] Easier Embedding API for Ruby

What is difficult about this?

Example: 

#include <ruby.h>

int main( int argc __attribute__((unused)), char *argv[] __attribute__((unused)) )	{
	
	ruby_init();
	
	//	Ruby Options are just like /usr/bin/ruby
	//	interpreter name, script name, argv ...
	char*	options[]	=	{ "", "rpdom_test.rb",  };
	void*	node		=	ruby_options( 2, options );
	
	return ruby_run_node( node );
}	

Struck me as potentially a documentation issue, but the actual functionality I think is pretty straightforward?
