Subject: Emacs equivalent of ri browser vim plugin?

Is there a port of the ri plugin that is available for Vim for Emacs?
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about the plugin
provides the class documentation for ruby in vim's help document
format.

You use it by typing

:Ri <search term>

and it displays the output in a split window like any other help query.

I personally prefer to use Emacs however and miss this feature since
it saves me the trouble of having a terminal open as well as the
editor.  Any suggestions on how to get this sort of thing in Emacs
would be appreciated.
