A simple method to print out the methods for an object at run time in a nicely formatted and colorized way. Really useful when using irb

Place in your .irbrc for easy usage, example here:
http://dotfiles.org/~sd/.irbrc

usage:
pm object
pm object, :more - shows all methods including base Object methods
pm object, :more, /to/ - shows all methods filtered by regexp
