I understand.  My point is that the Proc.== documentation says:

      Return +true+ if _prc_ is the same object as _other_proc_, or if
      they are both procs with the same body.

To me, this implies that you can use == to compare the body of two 
separate proc objects.  I couldn't come up with any case where you could 
actually do this.  Nobu pointed out that when two procs have empty 
bodies, == works for comparing them, but so far, there are no other 
cases in which the documentation matches the implementation.

I suggest that the implementation is correct and the documentation is in 
error.
