Pushed, and closing, thanks.

Regarding "doing the fix in the proper place", the alternative would be 
changing the implementation of thing-at-point--end-of-sexp.

But I'm not sure it's a well-defined function. It clearly special-cases 
characters with class "closing paren". And there's no clear counterpart 
for 'end' (even though it's a sexp closer in ruby-mode's syntax).
