I believe in trunk there is an option to not load rubygems. Unfortunately I can't tell for sure, since ruby --help hasn't been updated to mention the new option.
Thanks!

Looks like just --disable=gems. Patch attached to update the help.

=begin
ruby --help does not mention some options so that the output can be displayed on a traditional character display at once.

Hmm. Perhaps I should mutate my request into a request for a command line parameter to display all options [verbose help output] then?

Many users without being able to see an option through some command line option will never know of its existence.

Thoughts?

They can read the manpage ruby.1. But it may be insufficient for windows
users.

The limitation of the number of lines in --help is because of matz's
policy. What do you think, matz?
