or leave it. Some kind of command-line Ruby reference would be sweet,
but I don't strongly believe that RI should be that tool (you know,
tools doing one thing well and all that).
I don't see the significance of the separation: these things are as
much part of ruby as Array or Hash.

I didn't/don't know about RDoc maintenance changing hands. The fact
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/4305
that it's in Ruby CVS means that all opinions (and patches!) are fair
game, IMO. If you want to pursue the matter, Hugh, I suggest
ruby-core.
Cheers,
