It's arguable that RubySpec should only cover the language syntax and  
the core libraries as not all implementations of Ruby will necessarily  
want to include the full standard library. Ruby/dl for example is only  
present in MRI, not in JRuby or Rubinius, but I don't consider either  
to be a lesser implementation of Ruby itself for not including this  
library.
