#def_single_delegator(accessor, method, ali = method) ⇒ Object Also known as: def_delegator

  instance_eval(str, __FILE__, __LINE__)

#def_single_delegators(accessor, *methods) ⇒ Object Also known as: def_delegators

Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:

def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map

def_delegator :@records, :size
def_delegator :@records, :<<
def_delegator :@records, :map

def def_single_delegators(accessor, *methods)
  methods.delete("__send__")
  methods.delete("__id__")
  for method in methods
    def_single_delegator(accessor, method)
  end
end

#single_delegate(hash) ⇒ Object Also known as: delegate

Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names. The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.

:call-seq:

delegate method => accessor
delegate [method, method, ...] => accessor
