No, Firefox, Chrome is completely broken, Safari does things the right way. Thanks for the hint!

Another thing to consider is how/if we want to represent public_send versus send. Maybe I’m taking this too seriously but I believe we should think this through before merging. Ideally there would be some interplay between these two representations.
