Thanks for your question. Here is more context: what I am trying to do is 
to package rspec3 for the Debian Linux distribution. For  the moment, we 
have rspec2 split into several source packages. The specs are run during 
the build of the package, but because of the interdependency of the gems, 
this was creating cyclic build dependencies. For rspec3, we want to have a 
unique source package, which would combine the source of the various 
rspec-* gems to avoid this cyclic dependency. So we need a way to reflect 
in the version number of the package the patchlevels of the various gems. 
In Debian, + is a standard suffix to add some info to the upstream version 
number. This is the cause of my problem.
I can consider using something else for the suffix, but my guess is that if 
another gem which will be using for some reason rspec-support and must have 
a + in its name/version number, the same problem will occur.

I see that some care is taken to deal with filenames with spaces. Having 
special symbols like + is maybe more rare, but can occur.
