File: delegate.rb

 Delegation class that delegates even methods defined in super class,

which can not be covered with normal method_missing hack.

 Delegator is the abstract delegation class. Need to redefine

`getobj’ method in the subclass. SimpleDelegator is the concrete subclass for simple delegation.

Usage:

  foo = Object.new
  foo2 = SimpleDelegator.new(foo)
  foo.hash == foo2.hash # => false

  Foo = DelegateClass(Array)

 class ExtArray<DelegateClass(Array)
   ...
 end
