Hi,

in ruby there is **END** , and one can put data after that line. now  
what if i want to put non-data related info thereafter…

my request would be that ruby use **DATA** as complement to **END**  
. DATA word is very easy to remember.

if **DATA** is placed before **END** , it will not usurp **END** and  
lines below it. very handy. no clashing.

thank you and best regards
