no, you understood it. It is indeed easy to indent (otherwise py lang would
die a natural death :)

the concern is if you miss an end. You should try it. Ruby does not care of
indents and assumes cascades for enclosing ends (ends of classes are ends,
ends of defs are ends, etc). The domino effect makes it difficult for ruby
to detect missing pairs..

One of the major complaints about Python is not the indentation itself, but
the necessity to have exactly the same number of whitespace characters in
th indentation. A cut and paste sequence often requires considerable fixup.

I haven't looked around the net yet, but is there a better Vim syntax set
for Ruby than what comes with the Vim distro? In C, the '%' is an easy way
to check blocks to make sure the closing } matches the corect {.
