I packaged my own extensions to builtin classes in the `xbuiltins'
package for rpkg/rapt.  If ever that becomes a popular way, people
will be able to contribute to a single extension code base with no
fear of getting in the way of mainstream ruby development, and be able
to be always up to date with just a `rapt install xbuiltins' every now
and then instead of waiting for the next public release.
