Speaking of SMIE and indentation, though, don't you find it inconvenient 
that to run the tests with it enabled, you have to put (setq 
ruby-use-smie t) in your init file, and then maybe remove it later and 
rerun the tests, to see that some changes did't break anything in the 
default algorithm?

M-: (setq ruby-use-smie t) is easier.

ruby-mode also has customization variables that change indentation 
behavior (at least one, for now, and we should add more). How do you 
propose to test that?
