Ruby is, indeed, the best way to do that now. And Perl6 has been coming for, 
what, eight years? I'm not holding my breath...

That said, if I understand this, it would involve actual changes to the 
parser. Can't really do that in Ruby -- or at least, not without recompiling 
Ruby.

Has anyone actually done the equivalent of Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl for 
Ruby? If so, how much work was it? How hackish was it?
