$ ri19 PTY.getpty | head -n3
------------------------------------------------------------- PTY#getpty
      getpty(...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ri19 Array#delete | head -n4
----------------------------------------------------------- Array#delete
      array.delete(obj)            -> obj or nil
      array.delete(obj) { block }  -> obj or nil

which in array.c is:

/*
  *  call-seq:
  *     array.delete(obj)            -> obj or nil
  *     array.delete(obj) { block }  -> obj or nil
  * ...

That would be cool, I think it should replace the 'give it a whirl'  
comment.  I only check stuff in to ruby, I don't have access to the  
ruby-doc.org.
