I saw that Matz just merged his M17N implementation in the trunk.

Matz, for what it's worth, the .utf8 is okay, but the other syntaxes 
seem very poor and create issues with heredocs.

# this works
m = <<EOF.utf8
\343\201\276\343\201\244\343\202\202\343\201\250
EOF

# this will probably be hard to parse properly
m = <<EOFu
\343\201\276\343\201\244\343\202\202\343\201\250
EOF

Also, at least to me, assuming a long string without a heredoc, it makes 
it hard to read (as the intent is not clear till the end).
For me, at least, it would look much more logical to have the encoding 
first:

a = u"...." or
a = utf8:""

as it makes the intent of the string more clear.  I am also not to fond 
of python's approach, but I don't think placing the encoding at the end 
is better.
