Description

In show_cmds, we have this:

Multi-irb (DEPRECATED)
  irb            Start a child IRB.
  jobs           List of current sessions.
  fg             Switches to the session of the given number.
  kill           Kills the session with the given number.

These were deprecated about six months ago. After the impending release, can they be removed?

Also, does their being deprecated also mean that the sessions mentioned in section "IRB Sessions" and throughout the doc are moribund? If so, when to remove?

First confirm whether the deprecated session commands and documented sessions are still intended to exist; done means the scope is decided and the affected commands and documentation are consistently removed if approved.
