All right, thanks, I can see the idea now. I haven't noticed that 
there's no 'automatic' directory now.

And then, the 'manual' directory will disappear? Sounds good.

In the previous discussions, Stefan has been a been proponent to keeping 
indentation tests as sample files, instead of ERT scripts.

Because, as the argument went, it's much easier to work on the 
indentation code when the file contents are right before your eyes, and 
you can interact with them live.

Initially, I've put a number of indentation tests into 
automated/ruby-mode-tests.el, but now I more or less agree with the 
above position.

There is a `ruby-should-indent-buffer' helper in the aforementioned 
file. I haven't really needed much else.
