Description
On Windows, bat file is generated, thus cause Ctrl-C produce the following behavior:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Which is very inconvenient.
Scoop Installer already have a solution for this, it's called "shim".
There is also a C version for it.
I've built a python package for try: https://github.com/soda92/ruby-shim

Research direction
Start by reviewing RubyGems' Windows command generation and the linked Scoop Installer, C shim, and ruby-shim implementations. Determine the design and integration points for replacing generated .bat behavior; done means Windows Ctrl-C no longer prompts with “Terminate batch job (Y/N)?” and existing command behavior remains supported.
