If ES is thinking like me it would be called like this:

Proc#rebind(anotherBinding)

It would rebind all variable references and method calls into
the original binding to anotherBinding.

I think this would be more useful though:

Proc#unbind

It would replace all variable references and method calls into
the original binding with the current objects they return. 
This would be great for changing most *eval(aString) to
*eval(aProc.unbind).  I assume *eval(aProc) is much better than
*eval(aString) especially from a ruby optimization standpoint
(and ruby2c).
