No longer a one-liner, but value-add.  For bonus points,
allow specification of private, protected, singleton, etc methods.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w
# Print unique methods and their arity
#
# Can also do ruby -r <library> methods <library classname>

require 'open3'

obj = eval(ARGV.shift).new

methods = obj.methods.sort - Object.new.methods.sort

methods.collect! do |meth|
  "#{meth}: #{obj.method(meth).arity} arguments"
end

IO.popen('less', 'w') do |less|
  less.puts "Methods for #{obj.class}"
  less.puts methods.join($/)
end
