Hi all.
Noticed that currently gem_prelude.rb doesn't allow for gem activation like:

gem 'gem_name', '2.3.8'

nor

gem 'gem_name', '= 2.3.8'

The attached patch attempts to remedy this unseemly condition.
Cheers!

come to think of it, I'm not sure if gem_prelude accomodates for this style currently, either...

gem 'gem_name', '=2.3.8'

Hi,

I decide this issue as WONTFIX for 1.9.2.

Kernel#gem in gem_prelude.rb accepts ">", ">=", and "=" (with your
patch), but they behave the completely same. This feature does not
work correctly at all, I think. Though it may be intended behavior
since the original code was commited at r14011 by Eric himself.

Anyway, it is too late to fix this issue for 1.9.2. In addition,
I think it is no use waiting for this issue to be fixed, even if
the release is postponed. Really hopeless.

I think this issue should be fixed in 1.9.3, by the approach of
nobu's patch in #3140.
