Perl has it's own highlighter, specialized for Perl only.
Rubby uses general (common) highlighter what is used for tens of user languages.
I can't break functionality by adding new feature.

I see the symbols in Ruby are quite complicated. It similar as in all other
interpreted languages what are expanded of new functionality what wasn't planned
in the begin.

I will try what I am able to do.
