Yes, the additional methods include the object methods.

FYI, the reason you were getting more methods with [].methods is because Object#methods returns the methods of the receiver *instance*. Thus, Array.methods asks the Array instance of the Class class `what methods can I invoke on you’. You can get method information for the receiver *class* by using Module#public_instance_methods, #protected_instance_methods, and #private_instance_methods. To wit, Array.public_instance_methods == [].methods. This asks the Array instance of the Class class `what methods can I invoke on an instance of you?’.

i think it will be wonderful if the snippet can test the variable at the left of the cursor — whether the variable is string, integer, or array — and then pop up the respective data type list of methods
