#
# == Introduction
#
# This library allows you delegate method calls to an object, on a method by
# method basis.
#
# == Notes
#
# Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
#
# <b>forwardable.rb provides single-method delegation via the
# def_delegator() and def_delegators() methods. For full-class
# delegation via DelegateClass(), see delegate.rb.</b>
#
# == Examples
#
# === Forwardable
#
# Forwardable makes building a new class based on existing work, with a proper
# interface, almost trivial. We want to rely on what has come before obviously,
# but with delegation we can take just the methods we need and even rename them
# as appropriate. In many cases this is preferable to inheritance, which gives
# us the entire old interface, even if much of it isn't needed.
#
# class Queue
# extend Forwardable
#
# def initialize
# @q = [ ] # prepare delegate object
# end
#
# # setup preferred interface, enq() and deq()...
# def_delegator :@q, :push, :enq
# def_delegator :@q, :shift, :deq
#
# # support some general Array methods that fit Queues well
# def_delegators :@q, :clear, :first, :push, :shift, :size
# end
#
# q = Queue.new
# q.enq 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
# q.push 6
#
# q.shift # => 1
# while q.size > 0
# puts q.deq
# end
#
# q.enq "Ruby", "Perl", "Python"
# puts q.first
# q.clear
# puts q.first
#
# <i>Prints:</i>

#
# SingleForwardable can be used to setup delegation at the object level as well.
#
# printer = String.new
# printer.extend SingleForwardable # prepare object for delegation
# printer.def_delegator "STDOUT", "puts" # add delegation for STDOUT.puts()
# printer.puts "Howdy!"
#
# Also, SingleForwardable can be use to Class or Module.
#
# module Facade
# extend SingleForwardable
# def_delegator :Implementation, :service
#
# class Implementation
# def service...
# end
# end
#
# If you want to use both Forwardable and SingleForwardable, you can
# use methods def_instance_delegator and def_single_delegator, etc.
#
# If the object isn't a Module and Class, You can too extend
# Forwardable module.
# printer = String.new
# printer.extend Forwardable # prepare object for delegation
# printer.def_delegator "STDOUT", "puts" # add delegation for STDOUT.puts()
# printer.puts "Howdy!"
#
# <i>Prints:</i>
#
# Howdy!
#
# The Forwardable module provides delegation of specified
# methods to a designated object, using the methods #def_delegator
# and #def_delegators.
#
# For example, say you have a class RecordCollection which
# contains an array <tt>@records</tt>. You could provide the lookup method
# #record_number(), which simply calls #[] on the <tt>@records</tt>
# array, like this:
#
# class RecordCollection
# extend Forwardable
# def_delegator :@records, :[], :record_number
# end
#
# Further, if you wish to provide the methods #size, #<<, and #map,
# all of which delegate to @records, this is how you can do it:
#
# class RecordCollection
# # extend Forwardable, but we did that above
# def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map
# end
# f = Foo.new
# f.printf ...
# f.gets
# f.content_at(1)
#
# Also see the example at forwardable.rb.

# Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of
# symbols. These symbols correspond to method names. The value is
# the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.

#
# Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no
# provision for using a different name. The following two code
# samples have the same effect:
#
