Description
As requested, I'm opening an issue based upon this ruby forum thread:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/931304#976952
This is kinda going to be a slippery slope I'm afraid. I guess you could do a simple "remove the trailing s" and look. But a general way to link to the Class's page would be nice too so that I can do "list of children[class_link:Child]" (perhaps) and RDoc would fill in the proper link to the page for Child.
Good luck!

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Ruby forum thread and examining RDoc's existing class-page linking behavior. Clarify whether the goal is plural class-name lookup, an explicit class_link syntax, or both; done should mean the chosen behavior reliably links references such as Child to the corresponding class page.
