compare:

class Foo
     def bar
         puts 'bar'
	   if foo
         endif
     enddef
endclass

I'm only suggesting this as an option to ruby -c

like

ruby -c -check_extended_end

still we make endclass/enddef/endif synonyms to end, thus programmer is free
to use them or not.

and w regards to indents

ruby -c -check_indent

Again, programmer is free to use indents (as syntax check) or not.

kind regards -botp
