This answer is a bit misleading, ruby -c will only check the file for
syntactic correctness (which happens during parsing, anyway).

In general, there is no way of telling a method-lookup at runtime will
work, as Ruby is dynamically typed.  Use unit-tests to ensure the
correctness of your methods.

Also, ruby -w may be useful to show up likely-to-be-problematic things
as uninitalized instance variables etc.
