From: se8ast@... Date: 2016-03-03T21:21:31+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:74117] [Ruby trunk Feature#12141] send and __send__ Issue #12141 has been updated by Sebastian Herm. Hi guys ! We have this concept of sending messages to objects with Object#send, and that's fine, but often a child class defines its own send method, so that's why we have this ugly Object#__ send __ hack. So, I suggest dropping Object#send and aliasing Object#__ send __ to Object#invoke instead, which seems to me as a better evocative method name. Good or bad idea ?
