OK, OK, I agree with you. One problem with ASCII-based text like this is
I don’t know how to create that equal sign which is “wiggling” (which
denotes “approximately” in mathematics notation), nor even how to create
the “subset” notation (which is the “U” character rotated by -90
degrees). The use of ‘~’ probably will make everyone to think about the
bitwise negation.

Well, that part in the original post was intended to be a
“one-liner”. Probably I should have used “<–>” so that everyone can
interpret it in any way he/she likes…
On the contrary, I think nearly everybody would think “approximately” when they
see “~” next to a number. It wouldn’t even occur to me to think of it as some
crummy bitwise operation. I’m a person, not a C compiler!
Regarding set operations, sometimes you have to make do with words…
Spinning off of Giuseppe Bilotta’s idea… How about
‘ORE’
“Organized Ruby Archive”
I’m nitpicking, but Archive begins with an A. Should it be “Organized
Ruby Extensions” to fit the abbreviation better? But that sounds less
covering, since I wouldn’t assume applications to be there, mostly C
extenstions.

OK, OK, and what is the percentage of people who understand TeX notation
in comp.lang.ruby and -talk? (Not the absolute value, but the
percentage… If the majority accept TeX notation, we can do that
too…)

I figured, why be conventional with the acronym? Well, that and
I decided that “Organized Ruby Ectoplasm” probably wouldn’t go
over well

Hmmm, how about SORE

I like the TIARA idea, though.
