scratch that - try this:

   harp:~ > cat a.rb
   module Proxy
     def self::new obj
       klass = Class::new do
         ignore = %w( __send__ __id__ )

         obj.class.instance_methods.each do |m|
           next if ignore.include? m
           module_eval <<-code
             def #{ m } *a, &b
               __obj.send "#{ m }", *a, &b
             end
           code
         end

         attr_accessor '__obj'

         def initialize obj
           self.__obj = obj
         end

         self
       end
       klass::new obj
     end
   end

   a = String::new 'forty-two'
   b = Proxy::new a

   p a.class
   p b.class

   p(a.methods == b.methods)

   p b.upcase


   harp:~ > ruby a.rb
   String
   String
   true
   "FORTY-TWO"
