I know I'm getting into this late, but how about if each module came
with it's own ri documentation, similar to perl's perldoc. 

I know being able to do this

	ri Socket
	ri OpenSSL
	ri Net::SSH

would be great.

I think this, coupled with an up-to-date syntax manual would be a
huge boost to Ruby acceptance. 

Anyone agree?
