Actually (at least for the moment) I only need to know the Signature
(method name and number of Params) of the Built-in Classes. To solve
this I think the RubyClasses will provide what I need.
I personally don't like to write some Stub Files in Ruby to get the Ast
from them. First point, it's a lot of work and second it's some kind of
Duplicated Code ( <- is evil ;) ).
I tried the code bellow. I'm able to find the method I seek. But I still
have a little Problem with the number of Arguments. The methods provide
an Arity. As I understand it, thats where I should get the number of
Arguments. If a method provides a fixed number of Args the Arity gives
me the value I expect (a positive one). But if the Metod provides
optional Args then the value is negative and I got no idea how I should
interpret that value.
A good example is the Class "Range" (Method "initialize"). It has 2
fixed Args and an optional one. However the Arity contains the value -1.
I understand that the minus means that there is something with options Args.
But I have no idea how to interpret the -1.
Can anyone tell me how I can retreive the minimal requred and the
maximal possible number of params from the Arity?

Thanks a lot.
