I hit a bug with `Marshal.dump(SortedSet.new)` when `rbtree` is installed. SortedSet uses RBTree when it's present: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/3a083985a471ca3d8429146f9f18dead6747c203/lib/set.rb#L710-L714 Because of that, any class that encapsulates a SortedSet is affected. The bug happens because `rb_marshal_dump` doesn't accept `limit` as its second argument: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/3a083985a471ca3d8429146f9f18dead6747c203/marshal.c#L2272 I'm no C Ruby API expert and I am not sure what `port` means but this change does fix a failing test in this project.

A trail of events lead to this decision: 1. TDigest depends on unmaintained rbtree, which has a bug that our users complain about. An attempt to fix it was made but since the library is unmaintained, nobody merged it: skade/rbtree#2 2. We had to monkey-patch the TDigest library, so our backend understands tdigests. Since we import the library, we no longer need to monkey-patch anything: we can just fix the code itself to make it digestible for us. 3. The TDigest library itself is unmaintained. An attempt to reach original authors revaled that they're busy with other tasks: castle/tdigest#6 TDigests are critical for our performance feature and we cannot afford neglecting the bug that haunts us in [1]. Luckily, the library is tiny (can fit into one file), and its licence (MIT) allows us to modify this code. Of course, to pay respect to the original author, a comment with a link is included into the comments 4. Thanks to all of this, I had a chance to fork rbtree and release it as rbtree3 (https://rubygems.org/gems/rbtree3). This RBTree is patched and should have no know bugs. Since we maintain TDigest now, we can directly depend on it (the TDigest gem depends on bugged rbtree) 5. Not the most important item in the list, but less dependencies means less headaches. That said, I would still perfer not to import anything but we need to move forward and unmaintained libraries slow us down

@kyrylo Hi, sorry for the late reply. This is probably the best option, as this is not the authoritative repos and I have no access to the gem on rubygems.org. Sorry for missing this patch :). |

Because of that, any class that encapsulates a SortedSet is affected.
The bug happens because
