Subject: [ruby-core:30206] Minor question on documentation

Hi!

While working on the doc, I realized that the interface documentation
sometimes uses "->" and sometimes "=>", e.g:

 *  call-seq:
 *     String.new(str="")   => new_str

 *  call-seq:
 *     string.clear    ->  string

The "->" is much clearer, as rdoc changes it to a nice arrow.

Is there a reason why much of the doc uses "=>"?

Or more importantly, any reason I should not go ahead and change these
"=>" to "->"?

Thanks
