sweet!

add class.desc_class

oh boy

from within extconf.rb
doesn't stop right

shouldn't params be at the end?

even in non-verbose "uncommon" ancestors might work well.

non inherited class methods:

it exists sometimes! Maybe! [make sure it wurx for REE...]

people might use that.
instead add methods_delin

also make sure it works...quite well, and pass out multiple arrays, possibly arrays of hashes?

yes indeed!

yup, add :verbose => true option :P

depending on verbose..?

yes indeed it should, after showing the source.

If there's class AND instance methods, display both :P
