[Ironruby-core] Access Top Level methods

[Lewis Lin]

  Hi,

I am doing this to implement a DSL. I want to allow user to define some 
function and be used by the DSL. Without this, I don't know how to get 
it working. I am sure there is a rational explanation for what I see. 
Could someone help me please?

Thanks,
Lewis
