Hi all,

The bug: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6286.

I wrote a patch that fixes all examples except the last one (which is a
different issue), and also supports nesting delimiters of the same type
inside the literal: %r(//([^/])*/)

This would be my first patch for Emacs, so I'd love to have someone more
familiar with ruby-mode and/or font-lock look at it.

Do I submit the final patch here, or to the Ruby Redmine tracker?
As I understand, the upstream version is maintained to be compatible
with earlier Emacs versions, and I'm using the
syntax-propertize-function feature here.

Am I trying to be too clever with the syntax table in
`ruby-syntax-propertize-general-delimiters'? I figured it's the easiest
way to avoid reimplementing `scan-lists'.

In general, if I have an undercooked patch, should I post a message
here, or just attach it to the related bug?

Dmitry.
