How to Call Private Methods On Objects

Calling private methods can for example be useful in unit testing to increase the code coverage.
Object#send gives you access to all methods of a particular object (even protected and private ones).

obj.send(:method [, args...])

In case send method has been overwritten, you can also use its aliased version __send__.
