Let's watch everything that happens:

   TracePoint.trace { |tp|
     puts "#{tp.self.class}\t#{tp.called}\t#{tp.event}\t#{tp.return?}\t#{tp.back == tp.bind}"
   }

   1 + 1

produces

   Class   trace   return     true    false
   Object          line       false   false
   Fixnum  +       c-call     false   false
