Fair question, but that's already answered quite well by available materials.

That is, the FAQ set out to enumerate the punctuation used in Ruby code.  All
of it is covered in Ruby references, of course, but not all in one place.

"Ruby in a Nutshell" (definitely) and the Pickaxe (presumably) cover these in
one place.  So I'll put up a FAQ entry, but it will refer to these (and the
English library ;)
