Method call recorder

A method call recorder is an object on which you can call any method, with any arguments (and continue doing so on child objects).

rec = MethodCallRecorder.new
rec[:this].is(:a, 'nice')[:little, :object].isnt.it?  # This does very little, but it works!

You can then play methods back on other objects.

rec[1].upcase   # first record the method chain
rec._play(['hello','there']) # => 'THERE'

You can also inspect the method chain if you wish (shows all methods called including arguments). This is an array of MethodCall objects. Using the last example:

method_call = rec._method_chain.first
method_call.method  #  :[] (a symbol representing the method call)
method_call.args    #  [1] (an array of the args)

You can reset the recorded method chain using

rec._reset!

For a few methods, see the specs (sorry!)
