  # The primary interface to this library.  Use to setup delegation when defining
  # your class.

  #     class MyClass < DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 1
  #       def initialize
  #         super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo)              # Step 2
  #       end

  #
  # or:
  #
  #     MyClass = DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) do    # Step 1
  #       def initialize
  #         super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo)              # Step 2
  #       end

  # Here's a sample of use from Tempfile which is really a File object with a few
  # special rules about storage location and when the File should be deleted.
  # That makes for an almost textbook perfect example of how to use delegation.
  #
  #     class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File)
  #       # constant and class member data initialization...
  #
  #       def initialize(basename, tmpdir=Dir::tmpdir)
  #         # build up file path/name in var tmpname...
  #
  #         @tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL, 0600)
  #
  #         # ...
  #
  #         super(@tmpfile)
  #
  #         # below this point, all methods of File are supported...
  #       end
