Sorry, everyone!  As Daniel and others have pointed out my analogy of 
non-inheritable local methods to instance variables makes no sense since 
instance variables are inheritable.  I'm feeling pretty embarassed by that.

However, I do stand by my argument that it would be good to have some 
kind of non-inheritable really-private kind of method in Ruby.  And I 
think that distinguishing those methods with punctuation in their names 
would be an easy way to get there without having to jigger with the 
existing method dispatch rules.
