I read the article, David. I understand what the article tries to say:
"After you've heard Matz discuss how he thinks about these things, all 
the more do you realize that "to make C++ programmers feel more at home" 
just isn't in the ballpark."

My intention of syntax improvement on "END" is more like to make less 
typing and eye catching to find matching code, rather than to make ruby 
feel more like C/C++.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear completely.

I understand as a newbie, Robert and most others suggest me to use ruby 
more to see if I have different feeling about "END". But to make my 
point more explicit, the intention of my original post is rather than a 
syntax suggestion change, but more a support of ruby creator MATS's 
intention and experiment (already made) on alternative syntax of "END". 
Mats's this syntax experiment likely involved other ruby guru's support 
in ruby core team.  They are not newbies like me or just casually jumped 
in this decision, right?

I just additionally brought about some examples of candidates for the 
alternative of keyword "END".  I agreed with Robert that those 
candidates may not be realistic.  Mats has the final decision which I 
will support no matter he decide to change or not, or what the new 
syntax be like.

To make it short, I am on Mats side, who expressed and experimented a 
syntax alternative for "END", while it seems Robert, David and some 
others are on a different side with ruby's creator, Mats.  That's sounds 
a little interesting,  huh? :)   I apologize for my rush on my some 
inappropriate comments/reactions anyway.
