(Concerning the OP's request there is some code in `plruby'
that easiliy could be transposed.)

Dave Lee wrote me that my patch proposals sound reasonable.
One and a half years later I see they were meant well but
they were implemented poorly, then. The least I would have
expected is a request for an improvement. Now I ask myself
how to go forth.

Dave, if you read this, who decides when what patches to
include? If he doesn't, what about to fork the project?
