how can I dynamically get the source of an object's method?

Hello:

I've been wondering if it's possible to get an object to print out the
source code of a method into a string.

It seems like it _should_ be possible, but it's kind of a wacky idea. I
haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Thanks in advance,
David

This isn't easy in the general sense with Ruby, because you can use
code to write, or even change, code.

However, some of the tricks for the SerializableProc Ruby Quiz might
give you ideas:

See Florian Gross's solution, for example.
