I have looked at Jruby but would prefer to write my own code rather than rely on a third party add-on that is beta, especially one that has not been updated in a while. If I write the data access portion in Java that uses JDBC, can I then write a Java wrapper that would allow Ruby to call the Java methods?

What if we just use the keyword 'in' to introduce a flipflop, and retain
the range-ish syntax to separate the conditions? Something like this:
if in l=~/BEGIN/ .. l=~/END/
...
end
The advantage of using a boolean phrase is that you can use it in
conditions, where it is most common. That also lets you do something
when the flipflop is false, which the 'from..do' construct you suggested
doesn't (easily) allow.
Since getting at the object that encapsulates the state of the flipflop
will be less common (one might even say "rare", although its hard to say
at this point since neither Perl nor Ruby allow it), the common case
(just getting the boolean result) should be simple and straightforward.
Getting at the object might be done via something like this:
in l=~/BEGIN/ .. l=~/END/ => state
The expression itself still returns boolean, but the object
encapsulating the flipflop is placed in 'state'.
I took the 1.8.1 source and tried hacking at it to introduce this
syntax, and managed to get the 'in' keyword working as above. Problem
is, I'm not a bison expert, and I'm certainly not very familiar with the
inner workings of Ruby's parser, so I keep getting 2 reduce/reduce
conflicts caused by the 'in' keyword... not sure how to fix that. And
when I try to use '=>' to assign the object, I get 27 shift/reduce
conflicts (which I think I understand, but I'm not sure how to fix).
I'd be happy to send a patch to anyone interested, but it's really
pretty trivial, and (as I said) imperfect.
I tried introducing new keywords to fill these roles, but the means by
which Ruby does its keyword lookup is pretty arcane, and it is not
immediately obvious how to add a new keyword. Any gurus of Ruby's inner
workings that could clarify how to do this?
I'd be especially interested in hearing from the proponents of the
flip-flop operator in Ruby as to whether this suggestion would "fit the
bill." If it isn't something they'd be comfortable using, then it is
probably not the most appropriate solution to the problem. However, I
think it gets the best of both worlds -- it is clearer that you're
dealing with more than just a range, and you can use it in more places
than simply in conditions.

I agree, 'from .. to ...' is very readable, but perhaps not as
convenient given the regular usage of the flip-flop operator. Then
again, I'd like to hear from someone who uses the flip-flop a lot as to
whether they feel it would be cumbersome. Readability is good, but if
you take it too far you get VB and Pascal, which are easy to learn, but
clunky (IMO) to actually write software in.
