I'm sure they're useful to have around, but I'm not convinced they should be
in Ruby core.

It might be beneficial to come up with couple of occasions having them would
have helped, and then get them into 1.7. Later they'll be at 1.8 if decided
to be worth of it.

Well, my browser is Mozilla, and it seems to be better than yours since it
finds Ruby Garden, it's online cook book and couple of simple recipes
written by some anonymous lad

  http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyOnlineCookbook

Anyway, I guess what you meant and I agree. The full blown cook book with
contribution and growing (farming) functionality isn't there yet. Only
simple Wiki.
