In addition, certain builtin types, such as Object and Fixnum are the same type as System.Object and System.Int32 (respectively), so they don't mangle names. When in doubt, you should always be able to call a method by its proper .NET name, and you can use #methods to get a list of the methods that an object responds to. (in this case, @c.methods would have 'first_name' and 'first_name=' method in the list.
