|How can transplanting a pure-ruby method cause a segfault?

See [ruby-core:34319].  From above rule we cannot allow all method
transplanting from classes.  Since we don't want program fragility
between versions, I don't want to allow method transplanting from
classes at all.

Remember the beginning of 1.8.7; rather small incompatibility hindered
the reputation of the release so bad.  I don't want to see the
situation like that again.
