+#  Delegation class that delegates even methods defined in super class,
+# which can not be covered with normal method_missing hack.

+#  Delegater is the abstract delegation class. Need to redefine
+# `__getobj__' method in the subclass.  SimpleDelegater is the 
+# concrete subclass for simple delegation.

+# Usage:
+#   foo = Object.new
+#   foo = SimpleDelegater.new(foo)
+#   foo.type # => Object
