I think it's time the defaults in ruby-mode be updated to include them.
* Implement some ruby-tools like commands in ruby-mode
The commands there need a bit of polish, but are generally a step in the right direction IMO.
A least of a few of the commands there deserve to be part of ruby-mode itself, so more users would get to use them.
I have other crazier ideas, but I'll stop for now :-)
I'd like to hear what you think!
I can make the necessary changes and provide patches if you think that my suggestions make sense.
