----------------------------------------
while getting latest ruby sources i noticed that json.gemspec is treated as binary by git.

and while looking why that is, i noticed that the gemspec for some reason "\0" is inside the file,
which causes text programms to think its a binary file instead of a text file.

to checkout why that happens, it seems that rubygems itself did add the "\0" into the file which seems to be wrong.
there is a open ticket in the repo of rubygems opend in "14 Apr 2014" but it is unanswerd since months.

also i see that rubygems also did many ".freeze" into the files while "# frozen_string_literal: true" should probably used.
that might not be done jet because ruby 2.2 is still in "security maintenance phase"?
