To prevent this from happening to me again, I'm working on a gem
bundler-bouncer (https://github.com/JoshCheek/bundler-bouncer). At the top
of any entrance into your app (ie Rakefiel) you `require "bundler/bouncer"`
and it will exit the app if Bundler isn't running.

If anyone here uses Bundle, or frequently authors gems, I wouldn't mind
feedback: Have I followed gem conventions appropriately? Am I testing
properly? Anything you see from your experience that I don't have yet? If
so, point it out; help me learn.
