Subject: NODE tree introspection


I've been considering writing something for Ruby similar to the Perl
B.pm module; this is a module which provides Perl-level access to the
bytecode op tree, so that other modules can walk the op tree in
various interesting ways. This is the way the Perl to C compiler was
implemented. (however unsuccessfully...)

It seems reasonably easy to do in Ruby, just by wrapping the NODE*
structures as Ruby objects. Has anyone already done this or tried
working on it?
