More than one method matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:

  Kernel#require, Kernel#rescue_require, Kernel#require

Now what do I do to see the Kernel#require documentation?

it would be nice if ri would use a ambiguity resolution like gem:

$ gem uninstall rails
Select gem to uninstall:

1. rails-1.2.6
2. rails-2.1.2
3. rails-2.2.2
4. All versions

4

like
$ ri Kernel#require
More than one method matched your request. Which one did you mean?

1. Kernel#require
2. Kernel#rescue_require
3. Kernel#require
