Forgive the intrusion, as I'm new to this list, but would
it not be wise to add to the 'Module/Project/Library/Extension/Archive'
Lingo list an 'Application' category?

My area of interest currently is to embed Ruby into stand-alone
applications that could benefit from a scripting language, and
since Ruby Rocks all over all the other ones I've used, I think
it is the perfect candidate for embedding.

And while I'm here, I would like to send Matz a hearty "Thank You!"
for such an awesome language! (From a 10+ -year Perl veteran.)
