This reverts commit 92908818.

 class Object
-  # Invokes the method identified by +symbol+, passing it any arguments 
-  # and/or the block specified, just like the regular Ruby <tt>Object#send</tt> does.
-  #
-  # *Unlike* that method however, a +NoMethodError+ exception will *not* be raised 
-  # and +nil+ will be returned instead, if the receiving object is a +nil+ object or NilClass.
+  # Tries to send the method only if object responds to it. Return +nil+ otherwise.
+  # It will also forward any arguments and/or block like Object#send does.
