Feature #11028: standalone running single file ( zipped archives of ruby code) running **without installation** using "gem install ..."

----------------------------------------
standalone running single file ( zipped archives of ruby code) running **without installation** using "gem install ..."
prior examples in other languages:
    python myprg.pyz
    java -jar myprg.jar

Detailed Description:
---------------------
In python, if i have multiple program files: "a1.py, a2.py, __main__.py,
  dir1/b1.py, dir1/b2.py" and then i zip it as myprogram1.pyz
then i can run it as "python myprogram.pyz" (__main__.py inside the zip
file will be executed first). It is easy to distribute a single file
myprogram1.pyz

see: http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2012/05/21/python-zip-files/
===
in java also we can bundle all the .class files into a single .jar file
and run it
  java -jar myprogram1.jar
========
Currently in ruby the ".gem" file requires installation using "gem install ...". Then it gives some program file for running.
What i am asking is that some  gem file should have manifest with which they can run directly without installing


That is, i request you to kind provide a feature in ruby that if i have lots of files like: a1.rb , a2.rb, __main__.rb dir1/a4.rb etc.
(say, which uses Ruby-GTK for a Desktop application). Then i should be able to bundle them as zip file, say myprog1.zip or myprog1.pz ( rbz
=ruby's zipped executable archive).
And then i can distribute this "single file" and execute it as:

    ruby myprog1.rbz

This will execute the __main__.rb file among all the other .rb files,
inside this .zip archive myprog1.rbz  .
Note: this .rbz file extension can be .gemz or whatever, but this functionality of "standalone running zipped archives of ruby code running without installation" is essential

please implement feature of - standalone running single file ( zipped archives of ruby code) running without installation using "gem install ..."

[ruby-core:68742] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11028] standalone running single file ( zipped archives of ruby code) running **without installation** using "gem install ..."

[zaxebo1]

Issue #11028 has been updated by zaxebo zaxebo.


On MS-Windows the zipped archive of ruby source code - can have two file extensions:

-   ".rbz" will be launched by "ruby.exe" . 
     ".rbz" will be registered in MS-Windows registry as ""Ruby ZIP Applications"

-   ".rbzw" will be launched by "rubyw.exe".
        ".rbzw" will be registered in MS-Windows registry as ""Windowed Ruby ZIP Applications"

(This is in sync with python PEP proposal for .pyz and .pyzw file extensions of python)

more references:
 the original feature  requested filed for this in python is at http://bugs.python.org/issue1739468
 It was implemented in python version 2.6 in year 2007 itself. (IMP)
 Now the current python version in year 2015 is version 3.4
