Issue #6381 has been reported by agrimm (Andrew Grimm).

----------------------------------------
Bug #6381: Useful methods like included don't appear in RDoc
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6381

Author: agrimm (Andrew Grimm)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32]


=begin
Methods like (({Module.included})) and (({Module.private_constant})) don't appear in \
ruby-doc.org's documentation, because they are private methods. This can cause \
difficulty for new users of Ruby, for example in \
http://stackoverflow.com/q/10369876/38765

While there is a rationale behind not showing some private methods, because they are \
implementation details that should not be relied upon by users of Ruby, this isn't \
the case here.

This issue has been discussed in ruby-core:40662 and elsewhere, but is something that \
needs to be put in a bug tracker. =end
