What I would do for the rails stuff (and what I actually do for
Template Toolkit w/ perl) is use abbreviations.  For example:

:ab RLS <% %>^]hhi
:ab RL= <%= %>^]hhi

That way when you type RLS(space) it will put you inside the brackets
automatically.  Note: the ^] is a literal, so to type it you need to
do <C-v><Esc>.
