For my personal use I used to use a similar approach where I defined
outline-regexp through ruby-mode-hook. But I did not want to add an
additional regex that might be left trailing when the regex for the
syntax parsing changes. It might turn out to be an additional load for
the package maintainer and it might not be noticed by new contributors
when changing the syntax parsing rules up top.

It might also be good to add ```outline-heading-end-regexp``` and
```outline-level``` for completeness but my knowledge of regular
expressions and outline-mode is a bit limited. Maybe someone might
help with that. But for now only defining outline-regexp covers most
use cases so I don't mind if mine or Juri's solution was merged.

The regex I used to use personally is the one below incase anyone
finds it helpful

 "^\\([ \t]*\\)class \\|^\\([ \t]*\\)module \\|^\\([ \t]*\\)def "
