Great work! 💯
I wonder if we can rename .document to .rdoc_options?

I'd probably drop this, easy with project-wide search.
But I'm not against keeping it if you prefer.

Any reason for dropping the group :development do?
I'd prefer keeping it, but maybe there is a good reason for dropping?

In a gem, the Gemfile file is always used for development, so it is not necessary to differentiate by groups and they can go to the Bundler default group (:default) and thus the Gemfile file is much simpler.

I think we can specify a minimum version for these gems, since they are dev-dependencies and not gem dependencies.
gem 'minitest', '~> 5.8' (or similar)

The Gemfile.lock file is now versioned within git, so all developers will install, when they run the bundler install command, the same version of the libraries that the project requires for its development.

On the other hand, the dependencies of the gem when it is installed in other projects are marked by what is indicated in the gemspec, although this gem does not have any runtime dependencies.

Thanks, yes I know how all this works.
However, I think it's useful that the Gemfile signals intent. For example `gem 'minitest', '~> 5.8' signals that we're not expecting minor updates to cause any trouble, so those are alright to update automatically, or without much thought, but major versions need to be more explicit.

Can you put these back?
gem 'minitest', '~> 5.8'
gem 'rake', '~> 13.1'
gem 'simplecov', '~> 0.22', require: falseOther than this, I think this is ready to go! 💯
If I'm honest, I don't know what this file is for and who uses it. |

This PR updates the gem development environment, some rake tasks, and the gemspec. Needs to be rebased when my other PRs are merged!
