[MacRuby-devel] Calling ObjC method

[Laurent Sansonetti]

I yesterday night investigated a few ways to work around this problem,  
temporarily, but wasn't able to find one that would work without  
impacting the current YARV dispatching performance.

Let's therefore keep this bug around and in theory it should be  
automatically fixed once we will use the Objective-C dispatcher for  
everything.
