Iwao-san,

Sorry for late response. I tried removing this patch and saw what happened. The
result was that following gems were installed under /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6
(directory where rubygem ports install their files).

* bundler 1.17.2
* did_you_mean 1.3.0
* irb 1.0.0
* minitest 5.11.3
* net-telnet 0.2.0
* power_assert 1.1.3
* rake 12.3.2
* rdoc 6.1.2
* test-unit 3.2.9
* xmlrpc 0.3.0

I found some of them exists as rubygem port in ports tree. And some of such
ports has same version as above. That is, removing this patch results in
installed file conflict with some rubygem ports. So this patch shouldn't be
removed. I also found there isn't port of did_you_mean gem in ports tree. So it
may be we should create it.

>From this result I think we need to review other patches and understand what
they do and/or why they are necessary.

Furthermore, it may be we need to ask ourselves following fundamental question.

"What should (or shouldn't) be install by this port?"

To be honest, I think I should have made consensus about answer to this
question with others before I start creating lang/ruby26 port.
