|my_hugo = Hugo.new
|puts my_hugo.object_id     # => 22497820 (for example)
|myhi = my_hugo.method(:hi)
|myhi[]                     # => An instance of Hugo says 'Hi!'
|puts myhi.instance_id      # => 22497820 (for example)
|p myhi.method_name         # => ["Hugo", "hi"]

Why object_id?  Isn't it more useful to return the receiver itself,
e.g.

  myhi.receiver  # => #<Hugo:0xb7d5ff40>

?

And why should method_name return combination of class name and method
name?  I think the method_name should return the method name only
("hi" for this case).  It may be useful to implement separate method
to get a class that holds the method.
