Yeah, I'd like to improve if possible.  But since the parser parses like:

|class Foo
|  def bar
|    p "missing end at next line"
|#  end
|  end
|
|  k = Foo.new()
|  k.bar()
|# causes 'sample.rb:9: parse error' here, how informative, isn't it?

# notice how indentation goes.

And this is a perfectly legal program, except that LAST `end' to the
class clause is missing.  How can I find this error at proper place?
Using indentation information?
