RDOC Question -- including parent class accessors, and linking other classes

Hi Dave,

May I humbly suggest emulating what Javadoc does? Document the class methods,
and _list_ the ancestor methods, by class, with links to the methods. So:

class A
   def a ...

class B < A
   def b...

class C < B
   def c

would generate, for C:

Class C
   ... documentation for #c ...

Methods from B
   ... link to #b ...

Methods from A
   ... link to #a ...

The methods that C answers to are clearly declared, and shown in which class
they are defined. It clutters the documentation for C minimally, as the
methods are declared, not defined.

RDoc doesn't currently let you do this: the problem really is knowing
where to stop--do you document all of the parent's methods, and its
parent's methods, and so on.

I'm open to ideas here.
