My only regret with that, is that I can't define a method whose "name" is
actually an array.

I'd do that with 2-element arrays being pairs of one Fixnum and one
Symbol. (this is because some languages, like PureData (which I *do*
connect to Ruby), select on both a method name and an "inlet number", that
is, an "entry-point" through which the message is entering the object.
Currently I am converting the Fixnum to a number and inserting it inside
the Symbol but that's ugly.

Do you like the idea of non-Symbol selectors?
