[ruby-core:26081] [Bug #2207] lib/delegate: #method doesn't delegate to its object

Bug #2207: lib/delegate: #method doesn't delegate to its object
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2207

Author: Marc-Andre Lafortune
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: lib, Target version: 1.9.2
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-10-13 trunk 25317) [x86_64-darwin10.0.0]

require 'delegate'
d = SimpleDelegator.new("hello")
d.method(:upcase)  # ==> NameError: undefined method `upcase' for class `SimpleDelegator'


Note that in Ruby 1.8, this does not create an error.
This is fixed by defining respond_to_missing? instead of respond_to?

+    __getobj__.respond_to?(m, include_private)
   end
 
   #



Only caveat is that after a change of object of different class, the method can produce a NoMethodError when called. (same as Ruby 1.8)
Any objection?
