I heard the Arachno Ruby IDE tries to do something like this. never  
tested it.

the problem is, of course, you can never know for sure for some codes  
what happens
when it runs. just think of a value that is assigned depending on the  
current time.

that means you have to find a good heuristic, and such heuristics  
should be optimized
for the actual problem.

a very interesting topic in my opinion :)
but maybe the discussion is not suitable for ruby-core.
