I wasn't aware of these "method forwarding" facilities. It does in fact look like this might accomplish what I was originally thinking of. Still feels a little weird, so I might try to avoid it, but thank you for pointing this out!


Well, its what most languages would call automatic support for delegation. Rather than having to forward methods to the enclosed type manually, on a method-by-method basis, the runtime does it for you. There are many proposals for adding such a capability to Java. One might say its an example of how Objective-C excels.
