Subject: [ruby-talk:03697] Caller's class or object

OK, here's a question.

I know that "caller" will tell me who called the method I'm in (and
even further back than that).

But suppose I was called by method "foo" -- is there any way to tell
where foo is defined? It could be a method of some class, a singleton
method of some object, a method in a module,...

Obviously I want this information to be obtained by the program; i.e.,
don't tell me to look at the line number and... :)

I guess I could search the entire object space, but surely there is
a better way?
