Subject: [ruby-core:89561] [Ruby trunk Bug#15255] Change in protected	handling 2.3 -> 2.4, 2.5

Issue #15255 has been reported by viraptor (Stan Pitucha).

----------------------------------------
Bug #15255: Change in protected handling 2.3 -> 2.4,2.5
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15255

* Author: viraptor (Stan Pitucha)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
It looks like when moving to 2.4 and higher, the access to protected method has changed. In the following case:

~~~ ruby
class Foo
  def bar(objects)
    objects.map(&:baz)
  end

  protected

  def baz
    self.inspect
  end
end

a = Foo.new; b = Foo.new

a.bar([b])
~~~

The `protected method '...' called` will be raised. I haven't seen any explicit mention of this in the release notes.
It can be rewritten to successfully run as:

~~~ ruby
objects.map { |x| x.baz }
~~~

But it was an unexpected change. (so potentially a bug?)
