You can't call them *abstract* methods if you implement them

In Java, the presence of methods is checked at compiletime, if
they are defined "abstract". Your solution only checks the
presence of these methods at runtime, which is already checked
by Ruby itself.

So, what functionality or checks are you really adding?
