I think we should make an explicit BETA branch in the repository --  
many users checkout the full repository and gets stuff that may trick  
them, especially that (experimental stuff) which overload common keys  
(like e.g. the Experimental LaTeX which redefine the page up/down and  
home/end keys for text.tex.latex).

Well, you can only get at the PHP syntax by explicitly selecting it,  
yet many users still do so ;)

I opt for not even having this stuff available to users who did not  
manually select to checkout the beta branch.

Could you btw make a case for the new Ruby syntax? I never figured  
out what problem it was supposed to solve.
