|So the questions to be answered are:
|- am I missing advantages to CRuby's `test/*`?

* Since test/* is a test suites only for CRuby, it can contain CRuby
  (or platform) specific tests.

* Core CRuby developers have used test/* for long time, so they are
  more familiar to test/*

Developers are often lazy and ignorant.  Simple documentation for
RubySpec contributors may work.  If it already exists, advertising on
it (or referencing it from w.r.o) may work.
