Some frown upon monkey-patching, some frown upon blind rescues, but the fact
that we have them at our side is nice.

In this case, everything will be re-raised by the symbol if
String#instance_method doesn't return something that can be sent "to_sym".

However, I agree with TPR, and that as far as maintainable code goes, things
should be manifest.
