-#  Delegation class that delegates even methods defined in super class,
-# which can not be covered with normal method_missing hack.
-#  
-#  Delegator is the abstract delegation class. Need to redefine
-# `__getobj__' method in the subclass.  SimpleDelegator is the 
-# concrete subclass for simple delegation.
+# = delegate -- Support for the Delegation Pattern
 #
-# Usage:
-#   foo = Object.new
-#   foo2 = SimpleDelegator.new(foo)
-#   foo.hash == foo2.hash # => false
+# Documentation by James Edward Gray II and Gavin Sinclair
 #
-#   Foo = DelegateClass(Array)
+# == Introduction
 #
-#  class ExtArray<DelegateClass(Array)
-#    ...
-#  end
+# This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an
+# object.  The easiest to use is SimpleDelegator.  Pass an object to the
+# constructor and all methods supported by the object will be delegated.  This
+# object can be changed later.
+#
+# Going a step further, the top level DelegateClass method allows you to easily
+# setup delegation through class inheritance.  This is considerably more
+# flexible and thus probably the most common use for this library.
+#
+# Finally, if you need full control over the delegation scheme, you can inherit
+# from the abstract class Delegator and customize as needed.  (If you find
+# yourself needing this control, have a look at _forwardable_, also in the
+# standard library.  It may suit your needs better.)
+#
+# == Notes
+#
+# Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
+#
+# <b>delegate.rb provides full-class delegation via the
+# DelegateClass() method.  For single-method delegation via
+# def_delegator(), see forwardable.rb.</b>
+#
+# == Examples
+#
+# === SimpleDelegator
+#
+# Here's a simple example that takes advantage of the fact that
+# SimpleDelegator's delegation object can be changed at any time.
+#
+#   class Stats
+#     def initialize
+#       @source = SimpleDelegator.new([])
+#     end
+#     
+#     def stats( records )
+#       @source.__setobj__(records)
+#       	
+#       "Elements:  #{@source.size}\n" +
+#       " Non-Nil:  #{@source.compact.size}\n" +
+#       "  Unique:  #{@source.uniq.size}\n"
+#     end
+#   end
+#   
+#   s = Stats.new
+#   puts s.stats(%w{James Edward Gray II})
+#   puts
+#   puts s.stats([1, 2, 3, nil, 4, 5, 1, 2])
+#
+# <i>Prints:</i>
+#
+#   Elements:  4
+#    Non-Nil:  4
+#     Unique:  4
+# 
+#   Elements:  8
+#    Non-Nil:  7
+#     Unique:  6
+#
+# === DelegateClass()
+#
+# Here's a sample of use from <i>tempfile.rb</i>.
+#
+# A _Tempfile_ object is really just a _File_ object with a few special rules
+# about storage location and/or 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
+#   
+#     # ...
+#   end
