I find it inconvenient, actually, because when the test fails, it's
a handy to be able to have a ruby-mode buffer where I can try out sexp
movement and indentation functions "in the usual way", together with
Edebug if needed.

Indentation checking is automated, via "(cd test/indent; make ruby.rb.test)"
It's not for syntax-highlighting, sadly.

Ruby's SMIE indentation is very much "work in progress", indeed.
