[ruby-core:37927] Re: [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #5005] Provide convenient access to original methods

One of answers is use AOP like aquarium(But I didn't tried it so I dont
know if it isn't overkill).
Currently best solution is use unbound method which is not much intuitive
From perspective that easiest solution should be too wrong we could
introduce wrap_method. It avoids problems when alias_method break
alias_method of previous guy.

class Module
  def wrap_method(foo)
    i=instance_method(foo)
    define_method(foo){|*a|
      yield(i.bind(self),*a)
    }
  end
end

class A
def foo
  1
end
wrap_method(:foo){|prev|
  prev.()+1
}
end
puts A.new.foo
