Subject: Bug or Feature? (proxying methods)

I have the following code:

class ReturnSelfAfter

  def initialize(context)
    @context = context
  end

  def method_missing(sym,*args,&block)
    @context.send sym, *args, &block
    @context
  end

end

class Object
  def return_self_after
    ReturnSelfAfter.new(self)
  end
end

While it works fine proxying most of methods (not inclusive standard
ones, of course), it seems to fail on setters:

 class C ; attr_accessor :abc ; end

>> C.new.return_self_after.abc = 1
=> 1

While #abc returns C class instance, of course:

>> C.new.return_self_after.abc
=> #<C:0x705014>

So, is it a bug or a feature? Or am I just missing something?

(ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.7.1])

Thank you in advance
