You're correct. It can't. Although there ... RalphCorderoy (Ralph Corderoy)

That makes me have to count the number of blocks it's closing to ensure it's five. Please have the computer ... RalphCorderoy (Ralph Corderoy)

11:47 PM Ruby Feature #5054: Compress a sequence of ends

Nothing seems to ensure the author will bother doing e___e___end and have the e's align with the start of the blocks though. Some may just do e_e_end or eeend leaving the reader to tediously check by counting. We want something easy fo... RalphCorderoy (Ralph Corderoy)

I shouldn't have to count at all as it's error-prone.

With reference to e+nd or en+d; I haven't had to count characters since
Hollerith string constants in Fortran; 11HHELLO WORLD ;-). My
