Lazy Man's ri (lookup)

Example usage:

• lookup ActiveRecord::Base#new (returns a single method, since the method name is right)
• lookup ActiveRecord::Base#destroy (returns two methods, since there's two methods with that name)
• lookup ActiveRecord::Base#destro (returns three methods, uses methods beginning with "destroy")
• lookup ActiveRecord::Base#d (tells you to be more specific, because it can't open 35 tabs at once)
• lookup ActiveRecord::Base (returns a single consant)
• lookup Acv::Base (returns six constants, because it does a fuzzy match)

Options

It also takes options:

• -c or --clear will delete the database and update the api again. This can take a minute or two.
• -t or --text is useful for when you don't want lookup to spam tabs into your browser willy-nilly.

How it finds them

1. Checks if there's constants/methods with that exact name.
2. Checks if there's constants/methods with names beginning with that name.
3. Does a "fuzzy match" splitting the name and getting anything containing those letters in that order.
4. Opens your browser if you're running a DECENT_OPERATING_SYSTEM (may add support for things other than Mac later on)
5. ???
6. Profit
