You can do this pretty easy with:

% [ob info class] info instprocs

... and similar.

AFAIK, the "ob info procs|args|body" is ment to be used
with per-object resources (procs), like for example:

% ob proc bar args {puts $args}
% ob info procs
bar
% ob info body bar
puts $args
% ob info args bar
args

If you change the current behaviour, how would you
cover this issue then ?
