Hmm, there's no easy way.
Maybe adding some method to Binding object would work.

BTW, Proc and Method objects have `arity' method to tell number of
formal arguments.

  p self.method("foobar").arity

Negative number means number of required argument in 1's complement.
it's not always informative, because almost all method with variable
number of arguments which is defined in C, reports -1.
