|A Method object doesn't expose the wrapped method's visibility. If you have the method name as a Symbol, however, Module#*_method_defined? can be used. This seems wrong. A na�ve patch is attached to add visibility predicates to Method and UnboundMethod.

A method object represents the body (definition) of a method, where
visibility is a property of binding (name -> method body) in the
class.  So, in theory, I think a method object should not have the
visibility information.  Am I wrong?
