Odd, the output I get for lispifying:

  $ cat example.rb
  def sum(a, b)
    a + b
  end

  a = 3
  b = 4
  c = sum(a, b)
  puts c

is:

  ((class Example Object (defn example (scope (block (args) (defn sum
  (scope (block (args a b) (call (lvar a) + (array (lvar b)))))) (lasgn a
  (lit 3)) (lasgn b (lit 4)) (lasgn c (fcall sum (array (lvar a) (lvar
  b)))) (fcall puts (array (lvar c))))))))

The interior (starting from "(defn sum...") is the same as you've got
(minus the return statement), but I've got a lot of extra stuff
wrapped around it. I've double checked the my sexp and parsetree gems
are the latest (sexp-0.1, ParseTree-1.4.1).
