  implode   - (seppuku) removes the rvm installation completely.
              This means everything in $rvm_path (~/.rvm).
              This does not touch your profiles, which is why
              there is an if around the sourcing scripts/rvm.
  update    - upgrades rvm to the latest version.
              (If you experience bugs try this first with --head)

  wrapper   - generates a set of wrapper executables for a given ruby with the
