Both CIDER and SLIME look like a good candidate among third-party
packages. I also intend to use it in Robe (which can't be added to GNU
ELPA because of inf-ruby dependency; it's also begging for a rewrite...)

implements it, though (but I know SLIME has such a feature, and CEDET
probably has something comparable). We could bind it to `C-M-?.
