To take that to its absurd conclusion, if ri reported NO methods, the list would
be very short indeed.

IMHO, ri should follow all the way up; if the information there isn't complete,
it seems much less useful.  (Javadoc, for example, at least lists what methods a
class is inheriting so you know at least what's there (and where to look) even
if there isn't a full-on description.)

No?
