Gremlins -- Ruby interpreter suggestion

ruby-talk
1

I would like to make a suggestion for the Ruby interpreter to not complain about gremlins (extra newline characters) after the final end in a file.
This is often the source of unnecessary bugs.
It would also be nice to be able to put a comment or two after that last end !

Can you elaborate? Preferably with input that cause errors, and with
modified message you want to see.

When it occurs again, I will post it. I can't seem to re-create it now. Maybe it's my imagination?!
