I'll include something in the next release but in the meantime you can
just add

syn region rubyArrayLiteral start="\%(^\|\s\)\[" end="]" contains=ALLBUT,@rubyExtendedStringSpecial,rubyTodo fold

to ~/.vim/after/syntax/ruby.vim. It should work for the common cases...

I'll make any changes configurable.
