Yeah, it would. Darn it. It would be nice if Debian had Gems working with
their packaged libraries sensibly.

Well, looking at it further I see two potential problems here:
One, this bypasses the efforts of the gem system to activate any dependent
gems of rspec. While that doesn't hurt me, it might cause a missed failure
elsewhere, alas...
Two, it does catch a mismatched version error, though I can detect that and
work around it. Let me try another RFC patch to address that, and the other
issue raised in response to this thread, and see how it looks.
