Hmm, what is ARITY?  Does somebody know that word in Japanese??

Is it the feature to determin whether a proc requires arguments?  Or
the feature to retrieve the argument information (number, names,
type)?

I think the former is possible, the latter is ... I don't know.  I'm
sure the latter is very hard even if possible.
