Notes:
Patches the ruby source (v1.8.2, may work for other versions) such that it allows to redefine the %-literals. The literals are by default disabled for the existing literals, but they can be enabled by passing -% as option to the Ruby interpreter. This is done to enable Ruby to still compile its extensions, since there are a number of backwards incompatibilities incurred by this patch:
* %r becomes %R
* The o option for %r is replaced by a 1.
* %x becomes %X
* %W is terminally broken. Try %W{ hello\ world #{} } and see what happens before&after.
* def %a ; end changes meaning
For more information see http://www.rcrchive.net/rcr/RCR/RCR279.
Changes:
* Changed the meaning of the -% option.
* Added a 1 option to replace %r's o option.
