title: Ruby `send` vs `call` method
body: <p>I'm reading an article about Ruby 1.9. There are a lot of uses of the <code>call</code> method with <code>Object</code>.</p>
  
  <p>But with a recent version of Ruby, I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BasicObject.methods.include? :send # =&gt; true
  BasicObject.methods.include? :call # =&gt; false
  Object.methods.include? :call # =&gt; false
  
  def foo
    puts 'text'
  end
  
  Object.send :foo # =&gt; text
  Object.call :foo # =&gt; NoMethodError: undefined method `call' for Object:Class
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think that in some version of Ruby (probably 1.9), method was renamed. But I'm not sure. Please make it clear.</p>
