But I'd rather see this based on meaningful, easy to understand naming 
scheme under the hood.

Luckily, I have already mapped the special method names. Let me use the 
look up table from extract.rb:

     {
       "+"	=> "op_plus",
       "-"	=> "op_minus",
       "+@"	=> "op_plus_self",
       "-@"	=> "op_minus_self",
       "*"	=> "op_mul",
       "**"	=> "op_pow",
       "/"	=> "op_div",
       "%"	=> "op_mod",
       "<<"	=> "op_lshift",
       ">>"	=> "op_rshift",
       "~"	=> "op_tilde",
       "<=>"	=> "op_cmp",
       "<"	=> "op_lt",
       ">"       => "op_gt",
       "=="	=> "op_equal",
       "<="	=> "op_lt_eq",
       ">="	=> "op_gt_eq",
       "==="	=> "op_case_eq",
       "=~"	=> "op_apply",
       "|"	=> "op_or",
       "&"	=> "op_and",
       "^"	=> "op_xor",
       "[]"	=> "op_fetch",
       "[]="	=> "op_store"
     }

I'd suggest using foo_bang for foo!, foo_p for foo? and foo_setter for foo=.
