Bug #8975: Confusing code sample for assert_send

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


Test::Unit::Assertsions#assert_send has the code sample

    assert_send([[1, 2], :member?, 1]) # -> pass
    assert_send([[1, 2], :member?, 4]) # -> fail

Having an array within an array is somewhat confusing. When I first read it, I ignored the extra square brackets. A less confusing example would be

    assert_send(["Hello world", :include?, "Hello"]) # -> pass
    assert_send(["Hello world", :include?, "Goodbye"]) # -> fail
