Bug #3512: ri shows '__send__' incorrectly

• Status: Closed

=begin
Since '_' is used as a word-based markup for emphasizing, Ri description of Object#send is broken:

% ri Object#send
Object#send

(from ruby core)

obj.send(symbol [, args...]) -> obj
obj.send(symbol [, args...]) -> obj

---

Invokes the method identified by symbol, passing it any arguments
specified. You can use send if the name send clashes with <-- should be 'can use send'
an existing method in obj.

class Klass
def hello(*args)
"Hello " + args.join(' ')
end
end
k = Klass.new
k.send :hello, "gentle", "readers" #=> "Hello gentle readers"

Following will fix the problem:
