If I understood correctly, you want to look into the call stack. If
so, you must resort to an hack.

You might want to look into Kernel#caller. To see a practical example,
look into the source code for Deep End:

  gem install deepend

(Disclaimer: Deep End is just an half-baked thing I released some time
ago, and it basically sucks).
