Subject: Protecting commercial Ruby source

Are there any accepted or already practiced ways for companies to prevent Ruby source code from being read by potential competitors? I can vaguely imagine redefining Ruby's "require"-type methods so they can include zipped and passworded ".rbz" files, say. Or using exerb (except for UNIX and without the potential license issues).

I want to use Ruby at work but this is one of those "steps to convincing your boss to use Ruby" I need to go through.
