Wolfgang's proposal can be divided into three methods.

  #receiver that returns the bound object of the method object.
  #name that returns the name of the method object.
  and a method that returns the class which holds the method.

Does anybody have good name candidate for the last one?  I have
already implemented the first two methods in the local copy of the
repository.
