There's a tool to determine some of the parameters:
http://eigenclass.org/hiki/method+arguments+via+introspection

or you could use ruby_parser if you wanted to extract info from the 
source :)

There's also a tool to lookup using fastri [i.e. in irb]

>> [].ri_find
——————————————————– Enumerable#find
enum.detect(ifnone = nil) {| obj | block }  => obj or nil
enum.find(ifnone = nil)   {| obj | block }  => obj or nil
————————————————————————
Passes each entry in enum to block. Returns the first for which
block is not false. If no object matches, calls ifnone and returns
its result when it is specified, or returns nil

(1..10).detect  {|i| i % 5 == 0 and i % 7 == 0 }   #=> nil
(1..100).detect {|i| i % 5 == 0 and i % 7 == 0 }   #=> 35

=> nil

Good luck.

But then I have another question--isn't there a way to to inspect on a 
method signature and it says what line the method was defined on?
