-# = 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
-# @delegate_sd_obj = obj # store obj for future use
-# end
-#
-# def __getobj__
-# @delegate_sd_obj # return object we are delegating to, required
-# end
-#
-# def __setobj__(obj)
-# @delegate_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.
