Description of problem:

No "ri" documentation for Kernel

Kernel is one of the most Basic object classes in Ruby.  It's used extensively.

"ri" is the Ruby equivalent of "man" or "perldoc", so this is needed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ri-1.8.3-2.fc4

How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. ri Kernel
2. ri Object
3.
  
Actual results:
---------------------------------------------------------- Class: Kernel
     (no description...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Expected results:

---------------------------------------------------------- Class: Kernel
     (no description...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instance methods:
-----------------
     Array, Float, Integer, String, URI, `, abort, at_exit, autoload,
     autoload?, binding, block_given?, callcc, caller, catch, chomp,
     chomp!, chop, chop!, eval, exec, exit, exit!, fail, fork, format,
     getc, gets, global_variables, gsub, gsub!, iterator?, lambda, load,
     local_variables, loop, method_missing, open, p, print, printf,
     proc, putc, puts, raise, rand, readline, readlines, require, scan,
     select, set_trace_func, sleep, split, sprintf, srand, sub, sub!,
     syscall, system, test, throw, trace_var, trap, untrace_var, warn, y

Additional info:

The rdoc system will fail to generate _any_ docs for a module, if _any_ module
line for the module has a :nodoc: comment.  One was erroneously put in
lib/yaml.rb.  This is fixed in the next (as yet unreleased) ruby release.

As many of the important methods of ruby are documented under Kernel, it's quite
important for Kernel to have docs.

Here is the patch difference from 1.8.3 to the prerelease 1.8.4.  The one line
change would fix this large hole in ruby docs in FC4.
