I express no curiosity about the illegal parts! (-;

ri only returns what the documentor felt like telling you.

Here's my favorite wrapper on the 'public_methods' system:

   def what?(anObject)
     p anObject.class.name
     puts (anObject.public_methods - Object.new.public_methods).sort
   end

Now you just say 'what? f', and it tells you what f's all about. It also throws 
away all the stuff f inherited from Object, because you should already know it!
