Without diving too much into the implementation of this, I would say
if you really find yourself needing it alot you should refactor to
smaller methods that do less stuff.  I really find composed method and
extract method are some of the most critical refactorings in Ruby.

Oh yea, and welcome to Ruby =).  I'm sure you'll find a lot to love
coming from the Javascript world.  There are some libraries that let
you write prototype style Ruby similiar to idiomatic Javascript.
