Subject: Emacs mode question: backward-sexp & forward-sexp for begin..end

Hi all,

Is there a Ruby Emacs mode where I can do M-C-b (backward-sexp) and
M-C-f (forward-sexp) for "begin".."end" too [*], and not just for
"("..")", "{".."}", etc? I'd like to use "begin".."end" more to
delimit multiline blocks because it seems neater/creates less noise,
but many times I end up using "{".."}" for the above sole reason. I
find easy jumping like this more useful than folding (which Emacs
doesn't do particularly well, anyway).

[*] If it can additionally do "if".."elsif".."else".."end",
"def".."end", etc. too then it would be infinitely more wonderful.

Regards,
dave
