It's there - but not in 1.8.*:

13:14:34 JavaProducts_NGCP_dev_R1.0_PoA$ allruby -e 'puts
Hash.instance_methods.grep(/proc/)'
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 padrklemme1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-cygwin]
default_proc
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-cygwin]
default_proc
default_proc=
13:14:51 JavaProducts_NGCP_dev_R1.0_PoA$
