Subject: Cipher book for ruby

Hi all ruby gurus there,

I suggest if some one can initiate a documentation project for ruby? I
would call it The Ruby Cipher Book, or Ruby Demystified. In this
document, all ruby symobs, prefixes suffixes are explained, with
reference to the chapter in the online manual...

I encountered a symbol I don't understand, may be simply I didn't read
the manual careful enough -- sorry. 

@@var={ } ??

I knew that [ ] is for array, but what is { }?

There are a lot such cryptic things, some I know some I don't, such as 

%w, << === < ! ~ $_ ...

I do hope there are a quick reference of these horrible things. :-p
