Hrm. Either ruby svn and rdoc svn have diverged, or something else is  
weird with this patch. For example, 'm' is not a local variable in  
this method, and there has been very little activity on the rdoc svn  
side. I'll poke around, but I think I'm going to have to leave this to  
eric to merge. thanks for the heads up.
