Subject: Wild ideas: Finding a missing 'end'

I was just reading a nuby question from the rails list and I had this  
thought:

class MyClass
   def foo
     if true
   end
end

This code generates a parse error at the last line.  Now most  
languages do this, so it's not a big deal.  But how frickin cool  
would it be if a future version of ruby looked at the indenting and  
made a guess as to where the missing end/} might be.

Like:
test.rb:5: parse error, unexpected $, expecting kEND.  Did you miss  
an "end" on line 4?

Maybe people have thought about this already.  I'm just thinking out  
loud here, really.
