My FWIW comment is: alphabetical order is solved by the index of the book. If your online copy doesn't have an index, see www.ruby-doc.org. > All I, as a pragmatic programmer :-), really care about is "is this (an > undeprecated) part of the distribution?" and "what do I 'require' so that I > can use this?" The distinction between builtin and stdlib is quite important, IMO, precisely because you don't need to 'require' anything to use builtins. Also, it really pays to know them in depth, whereas the stdlib classes are more "tell me what I need to know" material.
