P.S. In the prehistory of Java there were serious proposals to support
delegation of an object's method to some "friend" (a field). I think
Ken Arnold was the proponent, and I also think at least some of the
original JLS authors took it seriously. But it was too much language
change for just one software reuse pattern, even a venerable one.
The CMB proposal seems to fulfills this old RFE completely, and does
much more besides, since it handles Concepts and Prototypes also.
