Interesting. So when we go to decapitalize the characters in a method name, it's using Java's built-in decapitalization. If locales are messed up, it may use a lowercase letter from another alphabet entirely.

I believe we are using String.toLowerCase, which does localization by default. However there's a second version that accepts a locale. I am reluctant to switch to this version and hardcode a locale since there may be cases out there that we do want to localize downcasing. But it would solve the problem...

Thoughts, anyone?

In what case would you want to preserve the localization? Only when you're trying to access a Java class from JRuby, and the java class's method names are non-English non-ASCII, right? I'd imagine that's a way, way smaller percentage of code than the folks who are simply trying to run JRuby programs on computers in other countries.
