Right, and this is another example of ri being broken. It was not meant to manage anything other than the core libs. The first version assumed hand-crafted content. The next (current) version was able to feed off of of rdoc, but still has no way to deal intelligently with confilcits with the core lib files. I;'ve run rdoc/ri on the std lib, and t just hses things. This is wrong.

Is anyone still working on rj?

It was intended to be ri.succ, hence the name.   It doesn't seem to have
been touched for a year...
