Yes, you can use:

  def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
    @obj.__send__(method, *args, &block)
  end

or

  def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
    str = method.id2name()
    @obj.method(str).call(*args, &block)
  end

but BE CAREFUL.  Both of these allow you to call protected and private
methods.
