 I was writing a test case to check that a method was aliased correctly and
 ran across this:
 {{{

 class NSURL
   alias_method :inspect, :absoluteString
 end

 class Test
   def one
   end
   alias_method :two, :one
 end

 test = Test.new
 url  = NSURL.URLWithString('http://macruby.org/')

 test.method(:one) == test.method(:two) # => true
 url.method(:inspect) == url.method(:absoluteString) # => false
 }}}

 It seems that when I call `url.method(:inspect)` it returns the a
 different method "#<Method: NSURL(NSObject)#inspect>" but if I #call that
 method it will do the correct thing.
