It might be good to hide them, by # making them private, or marking them :nodoc:, etc. # - The entire example from the RD section at the top is replicated in the RDoc # comment for MonitorMixin. Does the RD section need to remain? # - RDoc doesn't recognise aliases, so we have mon_synchronize documented, but # not synchronize. # - mon_owner is in Nutshell, but appears as an accessor in a separate module # here, so is hard/impossible to RDoc. Some other useful accessors # (mon_count and some queue stuff) are also in this module, and don't appear # directly in the RDoc output. # - in short, it may be worth changing the code layout in this file to make the # documentation easier # Local variables: # mode: Ruby # tab-width: 8 # End:
