ruby中怎么获得变量的字面值?

比如：v = 'abc'
v这个字符串，就是v这个对象的字面值；而’abc‘则是变量v的值。二者不同。
我想要得到的是v这个变量的字面值。
比如有一个方法m(v),传递参数是v，那么m(v)就返回v。那么这个m方法怎么定义呢？
或者说在某个对象上调用m2()方法，代码像这样：v.m2()，这句代码就返回v；
如果在f这个变量上调用m2()方法，代码像这样：f.m2()，这句代码就返回f.
我要请教的是，这个m2()方法怎么实现？
多谢！

我从stackoverflow上抄来的：

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2603617/ruby-print-the-variable-name-and-then-its-value

# the function must be defined in such a place
# ... so as to "catch" the binding of the vars ... cheesy
# otherwise we're kinda stuck with the extra param on the caller
@_binding = binding
def write_pair(p, b = @_binding)
  eval("
    local_variables.each do |v|
      if eval(v.to_s + \".object_id\") == " + p.object_id.to_s + "
        puts v.to_s + ': ' + \"" + p.to_s + "\"
      end
    end
  " , b)
end

# if the binding is an issue just do here:
# write_pair = lambda { |p| write_pair(p, binding) }

# just some test vars to make sure it works
username1 = "tyndall"
username  = "tyndall"
username3 = "tyndall"

# the result:
write_pair(username)
# username: tyndall
