Perhaps Rite / Ruby 2+ is a chance to fix this and similiar issues?

I think sometimes, non-backwards-compatible changes are OK, if done in a 
transparent way.
People can continue to use Ruby 2- programs with 2- interpreter 
versions, and update to 2+ versions as soon as the need arises, by 
making some changes to the existing programs.
