Bug #4496
closedri can't describe Kernel.warn
Description
=begin
It appears to be impossible to read documentation on Kernel.warn, due to overlapping matches.
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]
$ ri 'Kernel.warn' | cat
More than one method matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:
Kernel#warn, Kernel#with_warnings, Kernel#enable_warnings,
Kernel#silence_warnings, Kernel#suppress_warnings, Kernel#warn
$ ri 'Kernel#warn' | cat
More than one method matched your request. You can refine
your search by asking for information on one of:
Kernel#warn, Kernel#with_warnings, Kernel#enable_warnings,
Kernel#silence_warnings, Kernel#suppress_warnings, Kernel#warn
$ ri 'Kernel::warn' | cat
Nothing known about Kernel::warn
Suggested solution: if your search term is an exact match, then display it (don't search for other possible matches)

=begin
RDoc 1.0.1 in 1.8.7 is no longer being maintained as the RDoc code base has diverged too far.
Please upgrade your RDoc gem to fix.
