imap <TAB> <ESC>==i

This adds a mapping for input mode (imap), which remaps tab to escape
(go to command mode). Then it executes ==, which reindets the current
line, and goes back to insert mode.

map <TAB> ==

This would make tab reindent the current line when in command mode.

When you combine this with an autocommand, you can make vim only use
these mappings when you're in Ruby mode :)
Or you could put them in a filetype plugin.
