Here's some common-looking Ruby snippets which don't highlight
correctly with those patterns:

title.gsub( /"/, "&quot;" )

# Only works with one (and only one) letter appended. Regexes
# can have more than one trailing modifier letter.
some_regex = %r{^abc$}

# Not sure why this one doesn't work:
CodeEscapeRegexp = %r{( \* | _ | \{ | \} | \[ | \] | \\ )}x

foo = lambda {|char| "&#%03d;" % char}

return %{<a href="%s">%s</a>} % [ rval, rval.sub(/.+?:/, '') ]
text += %{>#{link}</a>}
