Subject: Runtime access to the source code of a block?

Is there a way, through native Ruby code or through C extensions, to access
(presumably through a String) the original source of a block object?  The
context for this idea is an interactive modeling application, where a user
writes a base model in Ruby, using blocks to encode the behavior of certain
objects in the system, then uses a GUI that allows interactive editing of
these blocks during a run of the model so that behavior can be changed on
the fly.  I'd prefer to have the base source be "live" Ruby code and not
strings that are eval'ed.

Thanks,
