[groovy-user] Category methods: where do they live at runtime?

I've searched the list and groovy docs for an answer to this, but I've  
been unable to find an answer so far.  If it's been covered already,  
my apologies.

Is it possible (under Groovy 1.5.4)  from within the scope of a  
category usage to get a reference at runtime to the methods that are  
added from the category?  I can't seem to figure out where references  
to those methods are stored.  They aren't available in the MetaClass  
or the binding.  Where do they come from?   It's all so magical.  

Here is a script that demonstrates trying to find them in the script's  
class methods and metaClass methods:

public class MyMagicCategory {

    static def whereDoILive( Script self ) {
      println "Hello. I'm right here."
    }
}

use (MyMagicCategory) {
   whereDoILive()
   def  foundInMethods = this.class.methods.find{ it.name ==  
"doSomething" } != null
   def  foundInMetaMethods = this.metaClass.metaMethods.find{ it.name  
== "doSomething" } != null

   assert foundInMethods || foundInMetaMethods
}

Output:
Hello. I'm right here.
Exception thrown: java.lang.AssertionError: Expression:  
(foundInMethods || foundInMetaMethods). Values: foundInMethods =  
false, foundInMetaMethods = false

java.lang.AssertionError: Expression: (foundInMethods ||  
foundInMetaMethods). Values: foundInMethods = false,  
foundInMetaMethods = false
	at Script15$_run_closure1.doCall(Script15:14)
	at Script15$_run_closure1.doCall(Script15)
	at Script15.run(Script15:9)

Thanks for the help!
