I've noticed two more font look issues (I guess I'm becoming annoying :-) ):

- ?c, ?x, ?\n, ?\C-\M-d, etc should be font-locked as strings I guess, since from Ruby 1.9 the character literal syntax actually yields strings.

- there should be support for the new %I/%i literals from Ruby 2.0 - I guess we should font-lock them as symbols

And one more:

Currently we use the same face (font-lock-type-face) for both classes/modules and constants. Classes and Modules are mandatory CamelCase(although Camel_Case is also valid, albeit it's considered extremely poor style) and just about everyone uses SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for constants so I'd suggest to use font-lock-constant-face for constants.

I noticed a couple of more font locking problems that we might want to
address. They are related to method names. Consider this code


def self.some_name ....

def SomeClass.some_name ...

self and SomeClass are currently highlighted with the same face as the
method name, although they are not actually part of the method name.
self should be highlighted with the variable face and class/modules with
the type face.

Should be fixed now. :) Along with the negation char fontification.
