Subject: [RDOC] patch for vararg require

I'm doing something funky in my code, where I have a custom #require 
method on an object and I delegate a #require call on another object to 
the first one. I.e., something like this:

   def require( *args )
     @object.require( *args )
   end

The delegating call kills rdoc with a "Unknown argument type to require: 
#<RubyToken::TkMULT:0x403c1c94>".

The attached patch fixes this, causing such constructs to be ignored 
with a warning (much like dynamic strings).
