[ruby-talk:00668] Way to intercept method calls?

Hi,

suppose I have following class:

	class Foo
	   def initialize(n=0)
	      @n = n
	   end
	   def show
	      p "show(Foo): #{n}"
	   end
	   def method_missing(mid, *args)
	      p "#{mid.is2name} catched"
	   end
	end

and I have defined:

	foo = Foo.new(12)

and now I want to call:

	foo.blarb

This call will results in a `foo.method_missing(:blarb)', right?

Now I want to know, whether there is a possibility to catch `foo.show'
within `Foo'? Is there some mechanism like:

	foo.show

will results in `foo.__send__(:show)', so that I could redefine
`Foo#__send__' and therefore capture all method calls to `foo'?

Like `method_missing' but called in every case. Regardless if `blarb'
exists or not?

If there is not such a mechanism, could we get such easily?
