Object#send (or __send__, if you like that one) should be fine. It
looks like Rails's send! is just an alias. From ActiveSupport:
class Object
unless respond_to?(:send!)
# Anticipating Ruby 1.9 neutering send
alias send! send
end
"Neutered" meaning that it won't call private methods, I assume -- but
that decision was rescinded.
