Is there a way to prevent Object#send from dispatching to a global 
method? By which I mean:

def something; end

class SomeClass
   def method_missing( sym, *args ) .... do magic; end
end

SomeClass.new.something # I'd like this to go to 
SomeClass#method_missing, not Kernel#something

I can manage this other ways, but I'd love to use something like send, 
if possible.
