Announcing x-ray
When first creating x-ray, I felt it was necessary to display an excerpt of the source code location where the call to ray() was found.

From there it was a simple matter of adding functionality for multi-line line selections and a few other minor changes. You can view the final permafrost-dev/code-snippets package and its documentation on Github.
