Maybe so. I'll have to return to the "do" block later, since this kind

of special handling requires finding the beginning of the method chain

(in the general case) that the block is passed to. Other keywords are

simpler.

Well, even though I develop Rails apps for a living I wouldn’t say the
style used in the Rails codebase should be considered some gold standard
- after all they are outdenting “private/protected” there :-)

Yuck indeed. :)

- before I started using programming Ruby in Emacs I aligned to the
beginning of the statement, but I stopped because this wasn’t supported
in ruby-mode. After using the alignment to keyword style for several
years I’ve grown to like it a lot (and it seems others are enjoying it
as well
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2925028/how-do-you-assign-a-variable-with-the-result-of-a-if-else-block).
I’m perfectly fine with alignment to statement becoming the default
(although the change of this default would be fairly visible/disruptive,
since as it stands keyword alignment is the only supported style and I
guess most Rubyists using Emacs employ it).

Well, since there's not much support for changing the defaults, I've

reverted the special handling of "begin" that already made its way in,

and added a user option that would control all applicable keywords:

`ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords', in revision 115624.
