bug#1593: ruby-mode: problems with font-lock

[Pietro Giorgianni]

The syntax  %{#{'?'}} , while legal (it is equivalent to '?'), makes
all the following text appear in font-lock-string-face.

The same happens with %{#{"?"}} , and seems to rise from the ?" or ?'
part: if I put a space (or whatever) after the ? , things work.

Real life example (from the sources of rubyonrails):

self.class_eval %{
  def self.#{method_id}(*args)
    guard_protected_attributes = false

    if args[0].is_a?(Hash)
      guard_protected_attributes = true
      attributes = args[0].with_indifferent_access
      find_attributes = attributes.slice(*[:#{attribute_names.join(',:')}])
    else
      find_attributes = attributes =
construct_attributes_from_arguments([:#{attribute_names.join(',:')}],
args)
    end

    options = { :conditions => find_attributes }
    set_readonly_option!(options)

    record = find_initial(options)

     if record.nil?
      record = self.new { |r| r.send(:attributes=, attributes,
guard_protected_attributes) }
      #{'yield(record) if block_given?'}
      #{'record.save' if instantiator == :create}
      record
    else
      record
    end
  end
}, __FILE__, __LINE__

I see this in Emacs 23.3, but not in the current trunk, so it seems to
have been fixed.

The other stuff mentioned in your update seems to be the subject of
