I'm working on it. I have done a basic proof of concept for myself 
last week and it seemed to work pretty good for making a basic terse 
look without any tagging yet. I have thought it would be better to use

#begin
# comment data
# more comment data
#
#end

I have thought that not using the '@' symbol would be better because 
it is used in Ruby quite a bit. Any suggestions are welcome. 

I will have a first cut off this available shortly is my hope - 
school/work limits me sometimes.
