As far as I understand, he only said there are some cases whether the
availability of a feature can only be known at runtime, not impossible
to implement 1.9 behavior.  So I want to make your opinion clear.  You
don't like the implementation complexity to implement 1.9 respond_to?
behavior, or something else?
