+Casting will bind an UnboundMethod method to a client object and execute the method as though it is
 defined on the client object. Any reference to `self` from the method block will refer to the

-This behavior is different in Ruby 1.9 vs. 2.x.
-
-According to [http://rubyspec.org](http://rubyspec.org) the behavior in MRI in 1.9 that allows this to happen is incorrect. In MRI (and JRuby) 1.9 you may unbind methods from an object that has been extended with a module, and bind them to another object of the same type that has *not* been extended with that module.
-
-Casting uses this as a way to trick the interpreter into using the method where we want it and avoid forever extending the object of concern.
-
-This changed in Ruby 2.0 and does not work. What does work (and is so much better) in 2.0 is that you may take any method from a module and apply it to any object. This means that Casting doesn't have to perform any tricks to temporarily apply behavior to an object.

-For example, this fails in 1.9, but works in 2.0:
+Rather than define methods on classes, you may take any method from a module and apply it to any object regardless of its class.

+GreetingModule.instance_method(:hello).bind(actor).call

 Casting provides a convenience for doing this.
