Not sure if ‘support’ is the right word. :slight_smile:

Thanks Ara, Gregory and Austin. Guess, I’ll just write gembundle as an

nope.

And with, I think, very good reason. There are times when, in the
past, I wished it did, but aside from one loophole, there’s no way to
get a gem to execute arbitrary code on installation.
