It cannot be done. Even if you could get to the ExpressionTree of a Ruby 
lambda, the ExpressionTree would be loosely-bound as Ruby uses duck-typing, 
whereas Moq expects a strongly-typed ExpressionTree so that it can figure out 
the exact method that you are trying to associate some expectation with.

FWIW, Mark had also been playing with mocking, and in our discussions, we said 
that the easiest mocking approach would be to use Ruby features like 
method_missing, monkey-patching, etc (like rspec does). Ie. something like this:

def mock(clrInterface):
  class ClrMock < clrInterface
    # monkey-patch all of “clrInterface.methods" here, and redirect to the 
mocking framework
  end
  return ClrMock.new
end

Hi

I'm trying to get some Moq mockery going in IronRuby but Moq expects 
Expression<Func<MyObject, TReturn>> in his methods.
Is there a way to make a RubyProc/lambda return an expression or convert it to 
an expression?
