Frankly, given your described code organization, I think ruby-debug is the easy route to discovering the destination of your call-site: just set breakpoint and step in. If you're really allergic to the debugger, you could instrument the call site with Kernel#set_trace_func.

$max_trace = 10
set_trace_func proc { |event, file, line, id, binding, classname|
  printf "%8s %s:%-2d %10s %8s\n", event, file, line, id, classname
  $max_trace -= 1 
  set_trace_func(nil) unless $max_trace > 0
}
