It concerns me that people are suggesting using various backwards
incompatible changes in Ruby 1.8.7

Though 1.8.7 may be a good fallback for 1.9 only libraries that may
make things work as expected, I hate the idea of writing code that
works on 1.8.7 but not other versions of Ruby 1.8.  At this point, I
feel like 1.8.6 is still the 'real' Ruby 1.8, anyway.
