OOooooo......

I'm pretty sure that's referring to the *Task classes (that aren't  
core classes):

Rake::FileCreationTask
Rake::FileTask
Rake::GemPackageTask
Rake::PackageTask
Rake::RDocTask
Rake::TestTask

Rake::MakefileLoader  <-- not a task, but might also help.

I don't see how I can link directly to them thanks to the frames (the  
one thing I hate about rdocs), but you can get at them here: http:// 
rake.rubyforge.org/
