Subject: Minor Change Proposal for Classe 'UnboundMethod'

Minor Change Proposal for Classe 'UnboundMethod'
_______________________________________________________


I would like to make a small change suggestion on the class 'UnboundMethod'.

Background:
___________

The proposal is to add one or two additional methods for class 'UnboundMethod', 
which return the contents of 'UnboundMethod#to_s' as an two element Array or the 
parts by two independant methods.

The method name used by here is only a suggestion, since I need a names for the 
example.
___________


 >>>>> Example for Workaround >>>>>
class UnboundMethod
   def method_name
     md = self.to_s.match(/Method:\s*([^#]+)#([^>]+)>/)
     return md[1], md[2]
   end
end

# Now an example

class Hugo
   def hi
     puts "An instance of Hugo says 'Hi!'"
   end
end

my_hugo = Hugo.new
myhi = my_hugo.method(:hi)
unbound1 = myhi.unbind
unbound2 = Hugo.instance_method(:hi)

p unbound1.method_name # => ["Hugo", "hi"]
p unbound2.method_name # => ["Hugo", "hi"]
 >>>>>     End of Example     >>>>>
