 The specs for the reference implementation of the Ruby language (MRI) are
-under @spec/ruby@. Presently, these are mostly focused on version 1.8.x and
-there is only the 1.8 subdirectory. However, as specs are written for version
-1.9, those specs will be placed in a parallel tree under the 1.9 subdirectory.
-In the spec files under @spec/ruby@, there are also specs for other Ruby
-implementations where these implementations comply with or deviate from MRI
-(again, the reference implementation for Ruby).

 All the spec directories except for spec/ruby are for Rubinius specific code.
 Under spec/core, spec/language, and spec/libraries, there are specs for how
