I choose not to comtemplate that possiblity.  I am sure that you 
understand.

I just built vim70e and I am waiting for the next releasae of the 
vim-ruby gem, due out today, which is supposed to contain the ruby/rails 
autocomplete vim add-in.  I will see about sftp later.  For now, if 
vim70 will auto-complete ruby/rails api calls then working on the host 
over ssh is no hardship.

I suppose that I will probably find that satisfying this desire proves 
far less usful than I imagined.  I have found that the essental Ruby and 
Rails APIs are far easier to keep in mind than many of the other 
languagues I have had to deal with.  But I sometimes find that 
auto-complete functions reveal calls that are new to me and, given the 
recent spate of updates to Rails, such clues might prove useful.
