rubyFunction, rubyClass, and rubyModule no longer highlighted

In the latest CVS version of syntax/ruby.vim, method, class, and
module declarations are no longer highlighted. This seems to be due
to changing lines like
syn region rubyFunction matchgroup=rubyDefine start="\<def\s\+" end="\%(\s*\%(\s\|(\|;\|$\|#\)\)\@=" oneline
to lines like
syn region rubyFunction matchgroup=rubyDefine start="\<def\(\s\+\)\@=" end="\%(\s*\%(\s\|(\|;\|$\|#\)\)\@=" oneline
Presumably, this was to allow def, etc to be highlighted before the
following space is input. A much simpler pattern (and one that
actually works) is
syn region rubyFunction matchgroup=rubyControl start="\<def\>\s*" end="\ze\%(\s\|(\|;\|$\)" oneline
I will update the syntax file to use this third form if nobody objects.
I also have a few other minor changes that make the colors easier to
tweak (things like grouping regexps together as rubyRegexp).
Cheers,
Tim
