I don't think so.

If you had a persistent Ruby process you'd just do a single 
Net::SSH.start and then start and stop shell channels down it as 
required, since Net::SSH gives you much finer grained control.

So the only benefit would be for one-shot ruby processes, and then only 
where there is a persistent client ssh session in another process, which 
is configured to be a ControlMaster. I suspect it would require a lot of 
code to implement for marginal benefit.
