I don't understand how versioning solves the problem of being forced to
import an extra library (gems) every time I run a script.
The stub that gets installed is essentially a sufficient answer; my main
concern was that I didn't want coders to be forced to either choose
between gems libraries and normal libraries, or have every 'require'
statement be a set of tests looking for one or the other.
