Depends on what is meant by "fine."

Here's the rdoc behavior for 1.8.6: Running rdoc over the entire ruby 
source tree gives you docs that claim  String and Array, for example, 
have a method named 'to_yaml', because the yaml code reopens those 
classes.  But rdoc pages do not indicate where that comes from, or under 
what circumstances it exists.
