Minor Change Proposal for Classe ‘UnboundMethod’

* * *

I would like to make a small change suggestion on the class  
‘UnboundMethod’.

Background:

* * *

The proposal is to add one or two additional methods for class  
‘UnboundMethod’,  
which return the contents of ‘UnboundMethod#to\_s’ as an two element  
Array or the  
parts by two independant methods.

The method name used by here is only a suggestion, since I need a names  
for the  
example.

# Now an example

class Hugo  
def hi  
puts “An instance of Hugo says ‘Hi!’”  
end  
end

my\_hugo = Hugo.new  
myhi = my\_hugo.method(:hi)  
unbound1 = myhi.unbind  
unbound2 = Hugo.instance\_method(:hi)

p unbound1.method\_name # =\> [“Hugo”, “hi”]  
p unbound2.method\_name # =\> [“Hugo”, “hi”]
