method(p1) public

Looks up the named method as a receiver in obj, returning a Method object (or raising NameError). The Method object acts as a closure in obj’s object instance, so instance variables and the value of self remain available. 

   class Demo
     def initialize(n)
       @iv = n
     end
     def hello()
       "Hello, @iv = #{@iv}"
     end
   end

   k = Demo.new(99)
   m = k.method(:hello)
   m.call   #=> "Hello, @iv = 99"

   l = Demo.new('Fred')
   m = l.method("hello")
   m.call   #=> "Hello, @iv = Fred"

Bind the named method to the receiver

Binds the named method to the receiver, returning a Method object with access to the internals of the receiver, such as self and instance variables.
