---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The Kernel#caller method appears to report the line of the first method
 called in the caller's body instead of the line where the call actually
 occurs.

 {{{
 $ cat x.rb
 class A            # line 1
   def f
     caller
   end

   def g
     1
     self.inspect   # line 8
     2
     f              # line 10
   end
 end

 a = A.new
 puts a.g           # line 15

 $ ruby x.rb
 x.rb:10:in `g'
 x.rb:15

 $ macruby x.rb
 /private/tmp/x.rb:8:in `g'
 /private/tmp/x.rb:1:in `<main>'
