Subject: Re: Strange behavior with SimpleDelegator and its Idioclass

Okay, now I'm trying to better understand how delegate.rb works b/c I
would like to reuse the principle behind it elsewhere. But I don't
understand one thing. How is self being redirected?

  class SD < SimpleDelegator
    def bracket
      p self
    end
  end

  class C
  end

  c = C.new
  sd = SD.new(c)
  sd.bracket

produces

  #<C:0x40329350>

How does self become c in the context of sd? I don't see how
delegate.rb achieves this.

Thanks,
T.
