The command is language neutral and I didn’t allow for any way to  
communicate “must be at begin of line”, which is not something you  
always want (e.g. in C it makes perfect sense to keep the comment  
indented).

So there is no simple fix, rather, it will have to be made more  
complex just to special-case Ruby¹, and only when the user starts a to- 
do not at column 0.

Personally not going to make that change, sorry ;)
