That would be nice. It doesn't affect me too often, but now and then, I install a gem, and I'm baffled that binary is still running the older version (it's more obvious when I don't have any older version and it just can't find the command). Maybe I'll give it a go next time I happen to be setting up a new dev environment. Thanks for pointing those out.
