# This is a useful little pattern for working with gems without
# explicitly requiring rubygems in your code.
#
# The approach taken is to require a library and catch any LoadError
# that might get thrown. In the rescue clause we require rubygems.
#
# The require method is nice in that it will return true if the code
# was loaded, and it returns false if the code was _already_ loaded.
# If the require of rubygems returns true, we will retry our original
# require. It will either succeed this time (since we now have rubygems
