Hi,

This is related to Item 14 in the "Things That Newcomers to Ruby Should
Know":

    http://www.glue.umd.edu/~billtj/ruby.html#dot

I guess that although Ruby syntax is in some sense "line based", a lot of
things can make Ruby continues to the next line, if the interpreter thinks
that the current line is "unfinished".

Regards,

Bill
