Thanks for all the feedback. I've just put up ri v0.3, which now ships
with source-level marshaled files, rather than binary. This means it
should work without warnings on all recent Ruby versions. It now also
installs in site_ruby, rather than site_ruby/x.y (it should delete the
old version if you're got one). I've also included Robert Feldt's
excellent abbreviation patch.
