Status: Open
Resolution: None
Priority: 3

Summary: Update all commands to have consistent way to specify GEMNAME

Initial Comment:
It would really be helpful if all of the commands had identical methods to 
input GEMNAME 

For example three commonly used commands have three different ways to search.

gem query needs -n REGEX
gem list STRING 
gem dependency GEMNAME 

REGEX works as expected but it would be nice to have a shorthand to match just 
"rails" or just mongrel'

STRING as a bare word matches the sub-string  but also responds to REGEX if in 
quotes ie. '^mongrel$'

GEMNAME seems to always match any sub-string in the target name. I cannot find 
a a way to just search for "mongrel" with out getting all gems with "mongrel" 
somewhere in the name.

tks, louie
