Only as a remark for a special usage, which is not easy (impossible?) without 
"respond_to?()".

I have some Libraries for textual analysis, which are usually used via "irb". 
The application works on large Arrays of String objects. Based on regular 
expressions I define sometimes methods for some of these object, during one 
textual analysis often several methods.

Then I can categorize the String objects in the Array by using "respond_to?()".

It is very easy and helpful (may be it sounds complex an strange, but this is 
only my bad English).
