That is the way WIN32OLE work. All properties and methods pass through
method_missing.

The C code can be written with Ruby code like this:

	def method_missing(id,*args)
		method = id.to_s
		if method[-1] == ?=		
			method = method[0..-2]
			return ole_propertyput(method,args.first)
		else
			return ole_invoke(method, args, DISPATCH_METHOD|DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, false)
		end
	end
