It's annoying -- the ruby-doc core documentation includes all of the 
standard library, so it's hard to tell what comes from where. (Perhaps 
they can regenerate the documentation?)

Anyway, if you click on the function name, you'll see the source code:

# File lib/rexml/xpath_parser.rb, line 8
  def dclone
    clone
  end
