[ruby-dev:27136] prohibit calling tainted method

Sheepman asked about a recent change of eval.c:

* eval.c (rb_call0): prohibit calling tainted method (>2) when $SAFE == 0.

[ruby-dev:27105] Dir.glob delimiter

In [ruby-dev:27110], Nakada posted a patch that enables Dir.glob to
accept an Array object and enables Dir.[] to accept multiple arguments.

What's the behavior with these new arguments?

Those behavior is similar to "{....}".
For example, we will use Dir["a*","b*",...] instead of Dir["{a*,b*,...}"].
