No.  What comes after the comma must begin with attr_SOMETHING or
alias_method.  The issue being tested here is that we are not in a
state where matches for these are being tried.

But if you ever figure out how to do that with a less abnormal syntax,
feel free to update the test files.

It could also be a good idea to add a Rakefile or a Thorfile to the
ruby-src directory (when I tested the change, I just renamed one of
the other files).  It could be that those present special challenges,
and in any case we should test the file-name rules.

OK, thanks.  I guess we now have the "best etags in the West" (and in
the East as well), as far as Ruby support is concerned.
