This fixes documentation in ENV, adds a little for debug.rb, and completes PP

Awesome, thank you!!

Is there anything I can do better?

These are good, for small changes I don't mind grouping them into one patch, though I'll probably commit them separately.

I noticed a few small spelling errors, like usage vs useage, but nothing I can't handle myself.

Sorry for dragging my feet on these, but you're doing a good job Vincent. Thank you!

Hello Vincent,

I've committed your patch for lib/debug. as r39019, I was reviewing your patch for lib/pp.rb and noticed the example for PPMethods::check_inspect_key doesn't work in trunk.

::check_inspect_key(obj.object_id) returns nil
then ::push_inspect_key(obj.object_id) raises: NoMethodError: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass

interesting, doing a little bootleg debugging

I get the following results:

I see, the example added to the methods is misleading. I'll revamp the docs for PP, and create a new issue.

Alrighty, since I don't have rights to close issues, I'll just add the updated PP/PrettyPrint patch here.
This patch fixes the confusing *_inspect_key example and also sets nodoc on the pretty print modifications to basic objects.
This patch also completes the documentation for PrettyPrint.
