Subject: Metaobjects in Ruby

I'm working on a paper for a class on Meta Programming Languages,
Systems, and Architectures, and one of the possible projects is to
compare meta programming facilities (e.g. reflection, introspection,
intercession, et. al.) between Ruby and Smalltalk (I do admit that
there was a bit of *ahem* influence in the selection of projects ;) ).
Now to start I was wondering if Ruby uses Metaobjects. If yes, where
is a good point to start gathering information on it? If not, which
are the facilities that Ruby uses to achieve reflection,
introspection, etc.? And again, where can I get more information on
it?

Needless to say I'll make the paper available to the Ruby repository
upon finishing. Cheers
