Unfortunately we've tried this before
and it actually made things much harder to search, browse, and
discover. Mixing all stdlib classes together creates extremely
large index and class/method listing pages which at best are
extremely noisy and at worst freeze up slower machines. The full
stdlib is a huge beast with tons of code. We put core in one
package, but for things that you need to manually
<code>require</code>, it's best to have them documented
individually.</p>
<p>I think the better solution is improving search on rubydoc.info
to support side-wide search, which would alleviate most concerns
without requiring putting multiple doc packages together.</p></div>lsegal
