It seems a lot of people find Ruby so much closer to perfect than any other 
language they've run across that they tend to think "If only Ruby did 
such-and-such it *would* be perfect" , and then rush out to create an RCR.
I've done it myself :->

However, it seems like this is a temptation we should probably resist.
Everyone who likes Ruby has their own sense of values and priorities, 
and it seems small changes, if necessary, are best.
