Rails - Oct 2012 - autolog: easily debug-like logging on the fly in your Rails app

If it helps anyone developing Rails apps or gems, I wrote a shortcut for 
set_trace_func, so next time you want to just add a line before and after 
some function you are trying to debug you can have Ruby temporarily output 
every line, method, etc. executed. Also, it lets you define the format, use 
other loggers, etc. via a proc/lambda define, since you might not like the 
default format. Apologize for posting here if it wouldn''t help- maybe
you
are using a real debugger.

Example:

In Gemfile add:
gem ''autolog''

Around some part of code add this before:
Autolog.methods
and this after:
Autolog.off

Hope it helps someone who needs a quick tool periodically without all the 
time sink of profiling or setting a breakpoint and debugging in a slow IDE.

autolog v0.2.0 released. didn''t have autolog method on
Object''s eigenclass,
which meant it wasn''t very helpful outside of main where I''d
added it
specifically, and I wasn''t doing an ensure on the block execution to
turn
it off if anything was raised in the block.
