Thanks.

I do not talk Ruby, so I'll wait for a few days to hear any one of the
following happen before deciding what to do with this patch:

 (1) Yeah, this is a sufficient and necessary set of keywords, and it
     would make my Ruby life so much better;

 (2) This might be a good start but you need to cover this and that
     keywords as well;

 (3) This will misidentify a line that is not the beginning of a
     definition, and should not be applied;

Needless to say, "Here is a better patch" is appreciated if somebody says
(2) or (3).
