Issue #17426 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


Or, use other than the literal `self`.

```ruby
self.system("true") #=> runs `true` command

(self).system("true") #=> private method `system' called for main:Object (NoMethodError)
```

Hello,

It seems like I found a behavior change on the way method missing is working on Ruby 2.7.2 in comparison with 2.6.6.
`method_missing` can't intercept call to a method called `system`.

The following code help reproducing the behavior
```ruby
class Klass

  def method_missing(meth, *args, &blk)
    if %i[system foo].include?(meth)
      puts 'behavior not reproductible'
    else
      super
    end
  end

  # Work on 2.6.6
  def call_system_from_self
    self.system
  end

  # Doesn't work on both
  def call_system_from_implicit_self
    system
  end

  # Work on both
  def call_foo_from_self
    self.foo
  end

  # Work on both
  def call_foo_from_implicit_self
    foo
  end

  # Doesn't work on both
  def call_system_with_send_from_self
    self.send(:system)
  end

  # Work on both
  def call_foo_with_send_from_self
    self.send(:foo)
  end

  # Work on both
  def call_system_with_public_send
    self.public_send(:system)
  end

  # Work on both
  def call_foo_with_public_send
    self.public_send(:foo)
  end

end
```

Is it an expected behavior change in 2.7.2?
