#  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 # => true
#
#   Foo = DelegateClass(Array)
#
#  class ExtArray<DelegateClass(Array)
#    ...
#  end
