The point is not being destructive or not, since it's OK in a bang
method as you described (by quoting me).  The point is that I don't
really feel it's dangerous to call private methods by the new method
(#fcall, or send!).  They are just different.  I'm hesitating put a
bang sign to something I don't feel dangerous.
