Subject: listing methods within the debugger

Hey chaps,

I have this line within ~/.irbrc, IRB.conf[:USE_READLINE] = true that starts the debugger. Very handy for me. but check this out;

(rdb:1) var local
  ap_path => "/usr/bin/irb"
  k => #<TCPSocket:0xb7f572d0>
(rdb:1) k.methods
["methods", "respond_to?", "reject", ...
... extract
...
 "to_i"]

(rdb:1) m k
Should be Class/Module: k

does `m` just show the methods that one has defined within an irb
session when the debugger is called?
