Speaking of Ruby and documentation, I'd like to put in a suggestion for
document strings. Emacs Lisp and Python both have it, and in both cases 
I
think it is a really good thing and made heavy use of it. It means at 
run
time one can get very specific documentation information.

I leave open where and how this information is tagged. In both Emacs 
Lisp
and Python this is a string that appears after the method "signature".
However
it is also possible that something could be done to use the comment 
before
the method definition, the same as rdoc currently uses.

Finally, I'd like to put in a plug for Paul

Brannan's ruby-internal on github which provides a way to get method
signatures.
