Subject: Re: when I say method_defined? I mean it!

I think Mr. Veenstra's approach is fine--either allow the exception
from instance_method() to percolate up, or rescue it and throw your
own.  As far as a comprehensive check goes, wouldn't 'unless
method_defined? || private_method_defined?' suffice?  Or you could, I
guess, use

	unless Object.new.extend(self).respond_to?(sym, true)

which seems more amusing.
