There is another problem with this though: if you do
  ri 'foo'
then irb exits completely. This is because process_args calls exit(1).

I think it should do 'return 1', and then /usr/local/bin/ri can do
  exit ri.process_args
instead.

Just another suggestion for Dave while he's looking at this...

Cheers,

Brian.
