Is this under vanilla Ruby or Rails? It simply doesn't work as you
claim under Ruby alone:

  irb(main):001:0> class Matrix < Array; end
  => nil
  irb(main):002:0> m = Matrix.new
  => []
  irb(main):003:0> m.methods.grep /get/
  => ["instance_variable_get"]
  irb(main):004:0> m.get
  NoMethodError: undefined method `get' for []:Matrix
	from (irb):4
	from :0
