Externsion specifications, was Re: Euruko 2003 (1st European Ruby Conference) Over

* formal specification of Ruby necessary?

There need to be a specification of the C-API for extension developers.
This should include levels of support such that e.g. new 1.8 functions is in
a different class.

Doing this would allow other interpreters / compilers to be written and
still take advantage of the existing extensions.

At the same time extension writers can decide whether they really need
function rb_xxx since it might unnecessarily require a more advanced API.

Ultimately this would also make it possible to take Ruby extensions and
sometimes use them in a non-ruby enviroment.
