Subject: Looking at a Class's source

Is there a way to look at the source of a class? E.g.

class Foo
   def bar
     # something
   end
   
   def foo
     # something else
   end
end


[0] Foo.source
=>class Foo
    def bar
      # something
    end
    
    def foo
      # something else
    end
 end
[1] 

Even being able to look at a method's source would be helpful, e.g.

[2] Foo.bar.source
=> def bar
   # something
 end

Pretty printing is not necessary. I've looked at the built-in classes
and modules and at tha standard library, and haven't been able to find
anything related to this. If there is no way to do such thing then a
simple "no" is sufficient, I'm just curious as to whether it is
possible or not. Cheers!
