Subject: Re: All the core function are buit-in?

Yeh, I do have noticed that mapping, but I searched all the source code 
directory, did not find the ruby method definition ...

eg. for the
rb_define_method(rb_mEnumerable, "collect", enum_collect, 0);
but no source code file included string "enum_collect", only the static 
lib included ...

I am not sure I have the source code tree, but I really downloaded all 
the ruby src tree by:  $ svn co 
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ ruby

Any help?
