Description

A pattern used a bit in the wild is the delegation of arguments to another method:

def perform(*args)
  # log things, activate gear
  do_perform(*args)
end

def do_perform(key, value, description)
   ....

Considering that add typing info to do_perform is straightforward, how could I hint in rbs that perform has the same signature? If not, does it make sense to have such a feature?

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the RBS syntax and existing method-signature handling, then search for tests covering delegated or repeated signatures. Done means agreeing on whether signature inheritance belongs in RBS and documenting and testing the chosen syntax.
