Named parameters may be an issue in the future. Ruby 2.0 is supposed to support named parameters, which could potentially complicate compilation for us. It could also just be an arg-processing issue, reordering incoming parameters to match up with the order of names.

This is more related to the 'extra' things that a Ruby-on-JVM though
could do beyond 'simple' Ruby/Rails compatibility.
Reflection.getMethod(..) allows you to specify a method name and an
array of types, to return a Method instance.
