Bug #2084: Method#source_location and Methods Created with `attr`

$ cat /tmp/attr.rb 
  class C
    attr :a
  end

  p C.instance_methods(false)
  p C.instance_method(:a).source_location
  
  $ ruby -v /tmp/attr.rb
  ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-09-11) [i686-linux]
  [:a]
  nil

Is it feasible to have Method#source_location work with methods created with _attr_(and friends)? Given that a common use for this feature is to extract documentation, it would be helpful if such methods could be located by introspection.
