Hmm... never thought of it as a problem. So presumably this face wouldn't be used for variants like "=AC" or "not", right? >> ruby-mode doesn't run on older Emacsen, but it's not hard to fix.

It stable enough, I think. More generally, we could sync up the Emacs trunk code with the ruby-mode in http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/misc. > I guess this makes sense.

As long as it doesn't cause people to fork (i.e. start contributing new features to some older version of ruby-mode such as the one in svn.ruby-lang.org, it's not really a problem. >> We should contact Kyle, then, for the copyright assignment.
