Just for info: noweb is a language independent LP system that'll work
just fine for Ruby. However, development of noweb seems nonexistent 
these days --- Norman started a version 3 reimplementation in Lua in
1999, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. A re-implementation in Ruby
would be nice. See: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/noweb/
