This can be done if the class is known in advance. eg: module A class B def get_nesting Module.nesting # => [A::B, A] end end end But, how to do it for an arbitrary object, so that we could do something lik...

What goes in is a Hash, and what comes out is a YAML string that can't be parsed due to formatting issues. I'd expect that a serializer can properly store and retrieve anything you give it, so somethi...

When I do the following: `sshfs [email protected] /tmp/dir1/` in a irb console, the console freezes. If I use something like system("sshfs [email protected] /tmp/dir1/") it works, but I need to use backticks because the system call is in a method used many times, and some of them need the return from the shell.
