The modified ri distributed via rpa-base (ri-rpa) isolates completely the
documentation from different ports (libs) and is therefore not affected
by this issue; e.g. if you do

$ rpa install diff-lcs

then you can

$ ri-rpa -p diff-lcs Array 
(...)
Includes:
---------
     Diff::LCS(diff, lcs, patch, sdiff, traverse_balanced,
	 traverse_sequences)
  
I have to say that this is clearly suboptimal (and I do not like it
either) and I will soon work on a more general solution to the problem
(intelligent merging with "subviews").
