I am having the worst time getting these cute little things to work.
Pasting into irb is almost working for me.  I think it's a problem
with line wrapping inside code which is pretty hard for me to read
to begin with.  Is there some way to cast these into a canonical form
that will survive their trip through email and cut and paste?
