since 1.9 has a slightly, but incompatibly changed syntax, I don't
think that would be a good idea. I find other dynamic languages
being present in parallel in several versions and though we do
the same with ruby. E.g we have php4/php5,
python{21,22,23,24,25,26,30}, perl{5,5.8,5.10},
so it seems reasonable to do the same with ruby.
