* incompatible changes:
The :close_others option is true by default for system() and exec().
Also, the close-on-exec flag is set by default for all new file descriptors.
This means file descriptors doesn't inherit to spawned process unless
explicitly requested such as system(..., fd=>fd).
* Kernel#respond_to? against a protected method now returns false
unless the second argument is true.
