sir Matz, can we try documenting technically all ruby methods/objects?
Something like unix Man. Eg, I was trying to search doc on Webrick but
cannot find any. I look on the sources, even the source do not have comments
(well they have but only very sparse. I' referring to 1.8). You have to read
the source wc is very error-prone if you're not a ruby hacker (wish I were
guy-decoux).

hope you'll take this as a constructive comment. I'd like to help but I have
to study ruby. I cannot study fast because... oh well.
