Subject: Syntax checker?

Ruby doesn't seem to check for class names, function names, and so
forth until it actually hits a line that tries to use such a thing.  Is
there a way to get it to check up front, without having to run the
script through every possible line of code?

I understand that this is not strictly "syntax" checking, and that Ruby
does actually do a "syntax" check.  So I mean some other term, more
along the lines of what a traditional compiler will do (minus the
actual compilation).
