Any chance we can get #invoke_method added to Ruby 1.8.5 so that we
can use it instead of #__send__? I've got a lot of #__send__ calls in
places. It would also be useful to know which of these sorts of things
will be used for private calls (e.g., I have code that must be able to
call methods that are otherwise private).
