Double-check your examples in "Block variables scope."  It looks like  
they may be cut off.

I also think you need to add a section on this error, which seems very  
likely to be the first thing programmers encounter in the new m17n code:

   $ echo "Résumé" > utf8.rb
   $ ruby_dev utf8.rb
   utf8.rb:1: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)

I love the idea overall though.  Thanks for sharing!
