Well, are you going to be around to help keep it working?
I don't know that would have a problem with adding support
for ruby, I just want to make sure we don't end up with
an abandoned parser. I know Ben was thinking about what
changes would be needed to move the syntax highlighter
out of the core, but he would know more about that.
