+# = delegate -- Support for the Delegation Pattern
+#
+# Documentation by James Edward Gray II and Gavin Sinclair
+#
+# == Introduction
+#
+# This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an
+# object. The easiest to use is SimpleDelegator. Pass an object to the
+# constructor and all methods supported by the object will be delegated. This
+# object can be changed later.
+#
+# Going a step further, the top level DelegateClass method allows you to easily
+# setup delegation through class inheritance. This is considerably more
+# flexible and thus probably the most common use for this library.
+#
+# Finally, if you need full control over the delegation scheme, you can inherit
+# from the abstract class Delegator and customize as needed. (If you find
+# yourself needing this control, have a look at _forwardable_, also in the
+# standard library. It may suit your needs better.)
+#
+# == Notes
+#
+# Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
+#
+# <b>delegate.rb provides full-class delegation via the
+# DelegateClass() method. For single-method delegation via
+# def_delegator(), see forwardable.rb.</b>
+#
+# == Examples
+#
+# === SimpleDelegator
+#
+# Here's a simple example that takes advantage of the fact that
+# SimpleDelegator's delegation object can be changed at any time.
+#
+# class Stats
+# def initialize
+# @source = SimpleDelegator.new([])
+# end
+#
+# def stats( records )
+# @source.__setobj__(records)
+#
+# "Elements: #{@source.size}\n" +
+# " Non-Nil: #{@source.compact.size}\n" +
+# " Unique: #{@source.uniq.size}\n"
+# end
+# end
+#
+# s = Stats.new
+# puts s.stats(%w{James Edward Gray II})
+# puts
+# puts s.stats([1, 2, 3, nil, 4, 5, 1, 2])
+#
+# <i>Prints:</i>
+#
+# Elements: 4
+# Non-Nil: 4
+# Unique: 4
+#
+# Elements: 8
+# Non-Nil: 7
+# Unique: 6
+#
+# === DelegateClass()
+#
+# Here's a sample of use from <i>tempfile.rb</i>.
+#
+# A _Tempfile_ object is really just a _File_ object with a few special rules
+# about storage location and/or when the File should be deleted. That makes for
+# an almost textbook perfect example of how to use delegation.
+#
+# class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File)
+# # constant and class member data initialization...
+#
+# def initialize(basename, tmpdir=Dir::tmpdir)
+# # build up file path/name in var tmpname...
+#
+# @tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL, 0600)
+#
+# # ...
+#
+# super(@tmpfile)
+#
+# # below this point, all methods of File are supported...
+# end
+#
+# # ...
+# end
+#
+# === Delegator
+#
+# SimpleDelegator's implementation serves as a nice example here.
+#
+# class SimpleDelegator < Delegator
+# def initialize(obj)
+# super # pass obj to Delegator constructor, required
+# @_sd_obj = obj # store obj for future use
+# end
+#
+# def __getobj__
+# @_sd_obj # return object we are delegating to, required
+# end
+#
+# def __setobj__(obj)
+# @_sd_obj = obj # change delegation object, a feature we're providing
+# end
+#
+# # ...
+# end
+
+#
+# Delegator is an abstract class used to build delegator pattern objects from
+# subclasses. Subclasses should redefine \_\_getobj\_\_. For a concrete
+# implementation, see SimpleDelegator.
