def requirement
  return @requirement if defined?(@requirement) and @requirement

  # @version_requirements and @version_requirement are legacy ivar
  # names, and supported here because older gems need to keep
  # working and Dependency doesn't implement marshal_dump and
  # marshal_load. In a happier world, this would be an
  # attr_accessor. The horrifying instance_variable_get you see
  # below is also the legacy of some old restructurings.
  #
  # Note also that because of backwards compatibility (loading new
  # gems in an old SlimGems installation), we can't add explicit
  # marshaling to this class until we want to make a big
  # break. Maybe 2.0.
  #
  # Children, define explicit marshal and unmarshal behavior for
  # public classes. Marshal formats are part of your public API.
