"deep-indent", huh?  I don't give it a name in SMIE, but I use the
"hanging-p" name for the test to choose between doing it or not (which
seems to be pretty much the same test you use in the current
ruby-mode.el).

Maybe making the trunk code work in 23.4 (for example) would help
convince people to drop it from ruby-lang.  I encourage people to post
a "vote to remove as well" to this bug-tracker.

That's good.  So we should indeed upload a newer version (or better
yet, remove those out dated versions).
