and this is universal problem to any question, where someone don't
know the answer ;)

right answer is that this can be done with hack, and so don't need to
be added to language core. same as private/public "keywords" is really
just methods written in ruby itself. of course, this hack will not
guarantee against another hack that rehack this hack ;)  due to
dynamic character of language
