try defining a field in the new method:

def newmethod.previous; @previous; end
def newmethod.previous=(v); @previous=v; end

then do:

newmethod.previous = someobject.method :oldmethod

...

oops.

Question:

is there a way to retrieve the current proc object from inside an
execution of that proc object? Because if so, we'd access the 'previous'
method in it and it would solve the problem when "redefining several
times"...
