The new hash syntax is already supported in the Emacs trunk version, and
it had a related fix committed recently
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10786),
which is not present in Ruby HEAD.

That's not to say we wouldn't benefit from pulling the latest changes
from it -- `ruby-toggle-block` looks especially nice.
