The only problem I have with that is that .a and .b look like alpha
and beta releases, though customarily these are written 3.0.2b, etc, 
i.e. directly after a number....  And ruby-3.2.c as a executable name
to distinguish it from other versions, would confuse the heck out
of people, "A single source file for ruby-3.2???".

Oh, and that's another: that looks like a wildcard for version 1
releases.
