#foo-1 is too, even if it's not directly callable and therefore very unlikely:

RUBY_VERSION                                       # => "1.8.4"
RUBY_RELEASE_DATE                                  # => "2006-05-18"
class << self; define_method("foo-1"){ "foo-1" } end
send("foo-1")                                      # => "foo-1"
