Bug #7499: public_send can be used to invoke protected methods

ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-12-03) [x86_64-darwin12.2.1]


class Foo
  def bar
    "wtf?"
  end
  protected :bar

  def invoke_bar
    public_send(:bar)
  end
end

puts Foo.public_send(:bar) rescue puts "error; this seems normal"

puts Foo.new.invoke_bar

# The last statement outputs "wtf?" on:
# * 1.9.3p194
# * 1.9.3p327
# * ruby-head (2012-12-03)

# The last statement raises a NoMethodError on:
# * JRuby 1.7.0
# * rubinius 2.0.0dev 2279857e
#
# I /expected/ the NoMethodError behavior
