+ # Use Kernel#gem to activate a specific version of +gem_name+.
+ #
+ # +requirements+ is a list of version requirements that the
+ # specified gem must match, most commonly "= example.version.number". See
+ # Gem::Requirement for how to specify a version requirement.
+ #
+ # If you will be activating the latest version of a gem, there is no need to
+ # call Kernel#gem, Kernel#require will do the right thing for you.
+ #
+ # Kernel#gem returns true if the gem was activated, otherwise false. If the
+ # gem could not be found, didn't match the version requirements, or a
+ # different version was already activated, an exception will be raised.
+ #
+ # Kernel#gem should be called *before* any require statements (otherwise
+ # RubyGems may load a conflicting library version).
+ #
+ # In older RubyGems versions, the environment variable GEM_SKIP could be
+ # used to skip activation of specified gems, for example to test out changes
+ # that haven't been installed yet. Now RubyGems defers to -I and the
+ # RUBYLIB environment variable to skip activation of a gem.
+ #
+ # Example:
+ #
+ # GEM_SKIP=libA:libB ruby -I../libA -I../libB ./mycode.rb
+
+ def gem(gem_name, *requirements) # :doc:
+ skip_list = (ENV['GEM_SKIP'] || "").split(/:/)

+ if gem_name.kind_of? Gem::Dependency

+ "accepts a Gem::Dependency object, please pass the name "\
