There is no Method#owner in Ruby 1.8.6.

And I don't understand how it would have worked anyway - determining the 
class/method a method belongs to given just a string with the method 
name? If you have two classes, Foo and Bar - each each method #biz - how 
would method('biz').owner returned the correct caller?
