=begin
require 'delegate'
d = SimpleDelegator.new("hello")
d.method(:upcase) # ==> NameError: undefined method upcase' for class SimpleDelegator'

This is fixed by defining respond_to_missing? instead of respond_to?

• def respond_to?(m, include_private = false)
• return true if super
• return self.getobj.respond_to?(m, include_private)

• def respond_to_missing?(m, include_private = false)
• getobj.respond_to?(m, include_private)
  end

Only caveat is that after a change of object of different class, the method can produce a NoMethodError when called. (same as Ruby 1.8)
Any objection?
