Package gem-bake: Information

Bake is a task execution tool, inspired by Rake, but codifying many of the use
cases which are typically implemented in an ad-hoc manner.

Rake is an awesome tool and loved by the community. So, why reinvent it?
Bake provides the following features that Rake does not:

* On demand loading of files following a standard convention. This avoid loading
  all your rake tasks just to execute a single command.
* Better argument handling including support for positional and optional
  arguments.
* Focused on task execution not dependency resolution. Implementation is
  simpler and a bit more predictable.
* Canonical structure for integration with gems.

That being said, Rake and Bake can exist side by side in the same project.
