Subject: VIM syntax coloring files for Ruby

I have noticed that VIM cannot properly color the following construct
in Ruby:

module MyModule
  def my_method
    foo = [ [ 1, 2 ], [3, 4], [5, 6] ]
    until foo.empty?
      foo.shift.each do |element|
        puts element
      end                               # colored to match until
    end                                 # colored to match def
  end                                   # colored to match module
end                                     # not colorized

In the syntax/ruby.vim file, the line after the comment "statement with
optional *do*", the statements here exclude rubyDoBlocks and
rubyCurlyBlocks from containment.  I'm not entirely sure why it was set
up this way.  If I change the ruby.vim file to remove this exclusion, it
still can't properly handle this construct:

module MyModule
  def my_method
    foo = [ [ 1, 2 ], [3, 4], [5, 6] ]
    until foo.empty? do
      foo.shift.each do |element|
        puts element
      end
    end
  end
end

Does anyone familiar with vim syntax files have any idea how to properly
correct this?
