RubyLexer is a lexer library for Ruby, written in Ruby. Rubylexer is  
meant

as a lexer for Ruby that’s complete and correct; all legal Ruby

code should be lexed correctly by RubyLexer as well. Just enough parsing

capability is included to give RubyLexer enough context to tokenize  
correctly

in all cases. (This turned out to be more parsing than I had thought or

wanted to take on at first.) RubyLexer handles the hard things like

complicated strings, the ambiguous nature of some punctuation characters  
and

keywords in ruby, and distinguishing methods and local variables.
