I'd like to propose to move `Kernel` methods listed in `Object` class to `Kernel` class. The following `ri` results are confusing to me because the `Object` methods are defined in `Kernel` module technically. ``` $ ri Kernel#then Nothing known about Kernel#then $ ri Object#then [Prints documentation] ``` This is because of the implementation of RDoc that it treats `Kernel` methods as if they are defined in `Object`. - https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/blob/acfb829917336ecbca6036437918c29319db7c04/lib/rdoc/parser/c.rb#L508 I'd like to disable the assignment and make `Kernel` methods listed in `Kernel` module. **Pros** - The RDoc structure is more clear and precise - (This is essential to me that it makes easier to generate annotations for RBS files.) - Both of `ri Kernel#then` and `ri Object#then` print the documentation **Cons** - The document of `Object` class will be almost empty, which may cause confusion for readers while there is a link to included module, `Kernel` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
