While I want to see rdoc in the standard library, I find it strange
that it should occupy space in the lib directory.  Unless I'm
mistaken, it's not really a library; rather an application.

Still, I guess my perception could change.  One day we'll see people
doing this:

  require 'rdoc'

  rdoc = RDoc.new(template, title, ....)
  rdoc.generate(*files)

instead of

  command = "rdoc -T #{template} --title #{title} ..."]
  system command

Hmmm.  I like it already.
