Hmm, interesting. Sadly, gezhu doesn't behave that well for me, giving 
oddly sized text in the 'warichuu'/gezhu sections. Perhaps Werner 
Lemberg might be interested in adding similar functionality to the CJK 
package. After all, if it's a CJKV language feature it shouldn't have to 
require a package that isn't on CTAN  (or seemingly even maintained 
since 2007)

Perhaps the ruby macros could be updated to deal with complex ruby at 
the same time (to support both upper and lower guide text).
