Matz has been stating over the past year that 1.9 will break backwards
compatibility with 1.8, and #send is just one of the changes.
String#[] has changed such that requesting a single character returns
a new String (it returns a Fixnum in 1.8). And there are others.

The only way to make sure your code is going to work in 1.9 is to
test, test, test. And when you're done testing, then do some more
testing.
