It seems it's a regression after all; no time to fix it now, but I've found
when it happened:

ruby-trunk-12116$ ./ruby -v -e "p proc{}.arity"
ruby 1.9.0 (2007-03-21 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux]
0

ruby-trunk-12117$ ./ruby -v -e "p proc{}.arity"
ruby 1.9.0 (2007-03-21 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux]
-1


This makes arity behave like the docs specify for both method.arity and proc.arity.  I'm sure it's naive, but it seems to work.
