Description

Hi there,

I'm using Emacs and ruby-mode for editing my Ruby files. ruby-mode, however, doesn't know about the % literals. The following code doesn't get the syntax highlighting I'd expect from it:

==============================================

Should be highlighted as a regular expression, breaks indentation:¶

regex = %r

Should be highlighted as a symbol:¶

symbol = %s|This is a symbol|

Should be highlighted as a string:¶

str = %q{This is a string}

Should be highlighted as a string:¶

str = %{This is a string}

Should be highlighted somehow, but isn't:¶

ary = %w[item1 item2 item3]

Should be highlighted as a symbol (not string), sometimes¶

breaks indentation¶

symbol = :"this is a symbol"¶

I've been told ruby-mode has been written by Matz and therefore I should file a bug here (see http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/390526 ). If that's wrong, please tell me where else to report this.
