Done, merged into devel, haven't seen the test suite in such a good shape
since a long time, congrats!

I've had a quick look at a way to implement that upstream. Using the
RUBY_ENGINE variable, it seems easy to have the gem selecting the right
handler depending on which interpreter is used.

Still there are some subtilities in our code that I'm not sure to
understand, this is quite low level, and I'm not sure to be able to handle
this upstreaming myself alone.
