I don’t think that’s what he is asking. If `method` is indeed a method, then 
`obj.method` in Ruby would return the method as a `Proc` (If I’m not mistaken), 
ready to be called, very similarly to how it works in Swift:

class Foo {
    func bar(_ a: String) {
        print(a)
    }
}

let foo = Foo()
let b = foo.bar
b()
