Why "require 'rubygems'" In Your Library/App/Tests Is Wrong
In response to all the responses to:
http://twitter.com/rtomayko/status/1155906157
You should never do this in a source file included with your library,
app, or tests:
require 'rubygems'
The system I use to manage my $LOAD_PATH is not your library/app/tests

// Idea from http://dbaron.org/log/20100424-any
jQuery.expr[':'].any = function(el, i, match) {
return jQuery.find.matches(match[3], [el]).length > 0;
};
jQuery('body :any(div, form) p'); // Same as jQuery('body div p, body form p')
jQuery('div:any(.foo,.bar)'); // Same as jQuery('div.foo, div.bar')
