Please offer an opinion on two dodgy tips that deal with Ruby:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Beautify_Ruby_code
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlighting_source_between_matching_curly_braces

The beautify tip has a long Ruby script that is out of date. A Google search for
"beautify ruby" finds the current version of the script, at the site mentioned in
the tip (so we do not need the script in the tip?). The tip also has an eloquent
"dodgy" statement asking why the Ruby plugins distributed with Vim are not adequate.

The braces tip has some comments again complaining about the inexplicable nature of
the tip. Note the link to duplicate tip 6 which covers Vim's handling of braces.

I see zero prospect of tips like these ever being cleaned up, and am inclined
towards deleting them (that is, flag as candidate for deletion, then wait a month or
more for discussion).

Can anyone familiar with Ruby comment on whether either of these tips has some
merit. Any comments?

John
