Subject: [ruby/date] Enhanced RDoc (https://github.com/ruby/date/pull/67)

Treats:
    ::httpdate
    #to_date
    #to_time
    #to_datetime
In behalf of ::httpdate, I've introduced section "Argument limit" that can be pointed to by various Date methods (similar to existing section "Argument start"). This will involve 8 already-enhanced methods plus 8 more not yet done.
