Ruby syntax file in vim and implied hashes

ruby-talk

If I write this:

check(:a => 1, :b => 2)

Ruby actually interprets it as this:

check({:a => 1, :b => 2})

However, the Ruby syntax file doesn’t seem to recognize it. For
example, if I have this code:

check(
:a => 1,
:b => 2
)

It won’t auto-indent it properly unless I add the braces:

check({
:a => 1,
:b => 2
})

Does anyone have a fix? (I don’t know how to write vim syntax files.)

While we’re at it, I have a piece of syntax that doesn’t highlight too:

Writing regexp without starting ~ (like ‘/(foo)/ and puts $1’) works for
Ruby, but doesn’t work for ruby.vim. Is it possible to fix this (I am
not so sure, given Ruby’s regexp syntax).

This was fixed recently.
As always, http://mugca.its.monash.edu.au/~djkea2/vim/syntax/ruby.vim
for the latest.
