See my earlier demonstration:

git clone git://github.com/jcoglan/packr.git packr
cd packr
git co -b 3.1 origin/3.1
git co 4cc307
rake multi

No monkey-patching on my part, just existing 1.8.6 behaviour that changed in
1.8.7. I'm all for additions, as long as established behaviour is stable.
Additions should not break existing code if you're not monkey patching.

@_why I'm not interested in joining a mob and I'm not going to be mad at
Matz et al if they disagree with me. Just responding to a question, hope
none of this appears mob-like.
