Subject: [ruby-talk:23510] How to use methID in method_missing

The pickaxe method_missing translates methId to a string and uses it as a
parameter to another call. What if I want to pass the method call to a
wrapped object? This doesn't work:

  def method_missing(methID, *args)
    # forward to wrapped obj
    @obj.methID(*args)
  end

... eval works (assuming I typed from memory correctly):

  def method_missing(methID, *args)
    # forward to wrapped obj
    eval "@obj.#{methID.id2name}(#{*args})"
  end

... is there a non-eval way to do it?
