RoRvsWild Ruby Documentation Theme

As much as we enjoy Ruby, we have long thought the Ruby documentation could use more love. We could contribute and give some.

Two week ago, we submitted a PR hoping it would eventually become the new default theme, dreaming to contribute to the Ruby documentation. While it was received with enthusiasm and was “ticking the boxes”, for some reason, the RDoc maintainers decided to use it as some kind of roadmap instead and to pick some of the changes and integrate them one by one in the old theme. It comes with significant advantages: you get all the improvements now without having to hope they eventually get integrated into RDoc, and we are free to make it evolve the way we want without waiting for approval.
