Heh, that makes no sense :)

FWIW, we don't ship ri docs for 1.8, so I'm not sure exactly where
this is coming from. Someone needs to hack a better single-file format
for rdoc; belching thousands of files to the filesystem and searching
them every time is pretty gross.

On the other hand, JRuby does have some interesting tweaks to ri:


~/projects/jruby ➔ ri --java java.lang.String
----------------------------- Class: java.lang.String < java.lang.Object
     (no description...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Class methods:
--------------
     copyValueOf, format, valueOf


Instance methods:
-----------------
     charAt, codePointAt, codePointBefore, codePointCount, compareTo,
     compareToIgnoreCase, concat, contains, contentEquals, endsWith,
     equals, equalsIgnoreCase, getBytes, getChars, getClass, hashCode,
     indexOf, intern, isEmpty, lastIndexOf, length, matches, notify,
     notifyAll, offsetByCodePoints, regionMatches, replace, replaceAll,
     replaceFirst, split, startsWith, subSequence, substring,
     toCharArray, toLowerCase, toString, toUpperCase, trim, wait
