#grep(pattern, &blk) ⇒ Object

Intercepting Array#grep needs a special treatment since grep accepts an optional block.

def grep(pattern, &blk)
  #
  # The following looks rather insane and I've sent numerous hours trying
  # to figure it out. The problem is that if grep gets called with the
  # block, for example:
  #
  #    [].methods.grep(/(.+?)_by/) { $1.to_sym }
  #
  # ...then simple:
  #
  #    original_grep(pattern, &blk)
  #
  # doesn't set $1 within the grep block which causes nil.to_sym failure.
  # The workaround below has been tested with Ruby 1.8.7/Rails 2.3.8 and
  # Ruby 1.9.2/Rails 3.0.0. For more info see the following thread dating
  # back to 2003 when Ruby 1.8.0 was as fresh off the grill as Ruby 1.9.2
  # is in 2010 :-)
  #

  #
  # BTW, if you figure out a better way of intercepting Array#grep please
  # let me know: twitter.com/mid -- or just say hi so I know you've read
  # the comment :-)

          super(pattern) do |match|
            #
            # The binding can only be used with Ruby-defined methods, therefore
            # we must rescue potential "ArgumentError: Can't create Binding from
            # C level Proc" error.
            #
            # For example, the following raises ArgumentError since #succ method
            # is defined in C.
            #
            # [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ].grep(1..2, &:succ)
