rvm to behave as nvm does at the system level??

[M0nty-Pyth0n]

It might be nice to have rvm utilize symbolic links behind the scenes as well just as nvm does (although a script -- nvm.sh -- is also appended to .bashrc). That way you are able to invoke the desired version of ruby from anywhere in your system (after setting the default version) -- vs only being to run the expected version from gnome-terminal, for instance, after configuring with 'Run command as login shell'.

I'll take a look at how nvm works.

Does it do something special with symlinks? I've had an admittedly brief look at how nvm.sh works and I can't see the behaviour you're talking about.
