FWIW I've implemented something similar a while back as a gem called 
"force_bind". You call .force_bind on an UnboundMethod instead of bind.

https://rubygems.org/gems/force_bind

Although it would be great to see #bind (and define_method) support this 
out of the box, adding this behaviour through a gem isn't *so* bad.
