Ruby syntax highlighting failures #209

The following provides results and an example of how Ruby is not being syntactically highlighted properly: http://idiosyncratic-ruby.com/1-test-highlights.html

Test case 1 is the problem here; CodeRay thinks the last part is a Symbol. Here's a minimal test case.

a?'b':c

Unfortunately, this isn't easy to fix. I tried to improve colon/Symbol detection in the past, and the current implementation is a result of these efforts. It works really well for a lot of cases, especially code that uses spaces correctly ;)
