As I understand (I just got it working today *g*), it offers block completion...

 From the extension file:

"When Ruby Electric mode is enabled, an indented 'end' is
heuristically inserted whenever typing a word like 'module',
'class', 'def', 'if', 'unless', 'case', 'until', 'for', 'begin',
'do'. Simple, double and back quotes as well as braces are paired
auto-magically. Expansion does not occur inside comments and
strings."

Cheers,
Tim
