Subject: [ruby-core:59098] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9138] make initialize_copy	private


Issue #9138 has been updated by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).


Isn't initialize_copy already private (as it should be)?

    ObjectSpace.each_object(Class).reject {|k| k.private_method_defined?(:initialize_copy)}
     # => [BasicObject]

Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


it was discussed with nobu that initialize_copy should be a private method, and any cases where it's public is considered a bug.

when i asked matz he said, it sounds good and ok to experiment with this change in trunk.
