if it's only about a method then it's trivial, what I meant was
something like this.
private(*somethingsomething)
anyone can explain it to me more clear?
m:lib arie$ rak "private\(" rake.rb
1091|private(*FileUtils.instance_methods(false))
1092|private(*RakeFileUtils.instance_methods(false))
oh wait, sorry for the noise, I know the answer! so private also
accepts an array of string values which are method names. Thanks for
the clue :-)
