The docs state that a plain `address` cannot be sent Ether. But even though `send` and `transfer` members are not available for plain `address`, the `call` is. And `call` can be invoked upon a plain `address` type to send Ether to the address.
For instance, the `someone` (`address` type) can be sent Ether by invoking `sendSomeone()` method in the following `Dummy` contract:
```
contract Dummy {
address someone = 0xAb8...cb2;
function balanceOf(address addr) public view returns (uint) {
return addr.balance;
}
function sendToSomeone() public payable returns (bool) {
(bool sent, ) = someone.call{value: msg.value}("");
return sent;
}
}
```
