--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Under Ruby 1.9.1, calling `__method__`/`__callee__` inside of a block
 still returns the current method name. Under MacRuby r5278, this does not
 happen. Here's a simple test program that reproduces the issue:

 {{{
 #!ruby
 def foo
   b = proc { warn __method__ }
   bar(&b)
 end

 def bar(&block)
   block.call
 end

 foo
 }}}

 Running it produces this output:

 {{{
 #!sh
 $ macruby /tmp/method.rb

 $ ruby1.9 /tmp/method.rb
 foo
 }}}

 To work around this, the value of `__method__` can be captured in a
 variable outside of the block and referenced inside.
