Ruby2 is a name for the language specification (if I may call it
"specification").  Rite is an implementation of Ruby2.

The 1.9 version of the current interpreter is a test bed for the Ruby2
spec.  It will eventually support (most of) Ruby2 features on top of
the interpreter derived from the current one.

The 2.0 version of my interpreter will support Ruby2 language and will
be equipped with Rite implementation.
