I have to be honest. I feel like a complete schmuck here. Coming to the
full relaization that method_missing catches public calls to private
methods means that BlankSlate is a lot of fuse over a very little --a
handful of methods, whch could just as easily be declared private. If
only I had realized sooner! Oh, well. Live and learn. Anyway, throwing
out BlankSlate sure makes things simpler. Something I always like.

One thing though. Like #id before it, many times I find myself wanting
to use an attribute called 'class' but that gets in the way of the
Kernel method. Maybe #object_class, like #object_id,would actually be
better?

Thanks for helping me see the light.
