There also is at least one nasty dependency cycle which should be
mentioned.  A development dependency is ruby-coveralls, which needs
ruby-simplecov at runtime, which in turn needs ruby-docile at runtime.

Other dev dependencies are ruby-github-markdown, ruby-redcarpet, and
ruby-rspec.  (I’ve been working on the same package but went down the
rabbit hole, depth first.)

This description is not very helpful, probably because the first two
sentences are just fragments.  The last sentence is okay, except for the
“in a snap”, IMO.

Oh, an additional newline in the middle of “ruby-gherkin3”?  Did
something go wrong when cutting out the patch amidst other changes?
