Sending :binding message to decorator returns invalid value #<Binding:0x007fef4eb2f8a0>

[chifung7]

Product class has an attribute named "binding". Product.new.binding is nil, so Product.new.decorate.send(:binding) should return nil but returns junk #Binding:0x007fef4eb2f8a0 instead.

After running Product.new.decorate.binding, Product.new.decorate.send(:binding) would return the correct value.

[6] pry(main)> Product.new.decorate.send(:binding)
=> #<Binding:0x007fef4eb2f8a0>
[7] pry(main)> Product.new.decorate.send(:binding)
=> #<Binding:0x007fef4ea82b50>
[8] pry(main)> Product.new.decorate.binding
=> nil
[9] pry(main)> Product.new.send(:binding)
=> nil
[10] pry(main)> Product.new.decorate.binding
=> nil
[11] pry(main)> Product.new.decorate.send(:binding)
=> nil

binding is a Ruby term, it's gonna cause conflicts that are out of our control. http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Kernel.html#method-i-binding

(that said, if we can do it without interfering with Kernel#binding, please let me know. I'd take a patch.)

@chifung7 If you use public_send rather than send you won't have this problem!

@haines Thanks for the solution!
