Yours has got stronger semantics than RubyGems' (which basically provides
the methods but sets no policy), so it will work just fine if users do

 require_gem "arrayfields", ">=3.1", "<4.0"

although there's no support for the backwards compatibility indicator
(3rd digit).
(not 100% sure about the syntax however)
