Ruby send usage
Raw
send.rb
# This is what we did
self.class.send :define_method, symbol, &block
# This, although seemingly equivalent, would not work
# because define_method is private
define_method symbol, &block
# Another example of using send
[1,2,3].first # is equivalent to
[1,2,3].send(:first)
