----------------------------------------
This raises a NoMethodError in ruby 2.2.0preview1:

    ruby -e "class A; define_method('b='.to_sym){|v|}; end; A.new.b = 1"

This does not, showing it is specific to dynamic symbols:

    ruby -e "class A; define_method(:b=){|v|}; end; A.new.b = 1"

This does not, showing it is specific to symbols ending in =:

    ruby -e "class A; define_method('b'.to_sym){}; end; A.new.b"

This does not, showing it works when called via send:

    ruby -e "class A; define_method('b='.to_sym){|v|}; end; A.new.send(:b=, 1)"

This does not, showing it works after calling send:

    ruby -e "class A; define_method('b='.to_sym){|v|}; end; A.new.send(:b=, 1); A.new.b = 1"

I apologize if this is already fixed in trunk.
