With 1.9+ you've got
>> RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> "ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32]"

Unfortunately that revision description doesn't say which branch it
came from [was it trunk or the 1.9.1 branch itself?]
Perhaps that should be added? <wink, wink, hint, hint>

That would work splendidly.  Also requested would be *Method#to_source
if possible [I guess impossible with C methods, but where possible].
Thanks!
