Public bug reported:

>From https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build:

Installing ruby-build as an rbenv plugin will give you access to the
rbenv install command.

Installing ruby-build as a standalone program will give you access to
the ruby-build command for precise control over Ruby version
installation. If you have rbenv installed, you will also be able to use
the rbenv install command.

-------------------------

Interestingly enough, installing ruby-build as a plugin in a user's
~/.rbenv gives them access to more rubies (instead of messing with
/usr/share/ruby-build), but the command is still not available in
rbenv's help.

It seems like it would be ideal for new users to see the `install` and
`uninstall` plugin options.


------------------------
Suggestions: 

- get command completion in before LTS hits - that's reason enough to
install from git for me
