#196:
i can see them bold black (i.e. they seem like method names)

My question is - are they keywords? I've googled and found different results on
different sources:

http://www.rubygarden.org/faq/entry/show/57?controller_prefix=faq%2F

here is private mentioned as keyword, but e.g. 

http://krijnhoetmer.nl/stuff/ruby/keywords/

says that public, private and protected are not a ruby keywords. So where's the
truth? 

p.s. Martine, you probably know....?!
Comment 1 Martin Krauskopf 2006-12-22 12:20:32 UTC 
They are methods defined in the Module which is superclass of Class AFAIK.

====
  class Module
    alias original_private private
    def private
      # do nothing
    end
  end

  class B
    private
    def not_really_private
      puts "called"
    end
    original_private
    def really_private
      puts "never called"
    end
  end

  B.new.not_really_private
  B.new.really_private
====

So syntax coloring is ok, I think -> INVALID.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2006-12-22 18:41:42 UTC 
Correct, public/private/protected are not keywords. Neither is "include" which
surprised me - I originally thought that was a bug in my lexer. Ruby
accomplishes a lot using method calls.
