Description
Will there be a way to deal with overriding method_missing? For instance, if I delegate the method calls to an instance variable, I'd like to "inherit" this object's API:
def method_missing(meth, *args)
if @obj.respond_to?(meth)
@obj.__send__(meth, *args)
else
super
end

Research direction
The issue provides a Ruby method_missing delegation example but names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating RBS support for dynamic method dispatch and review how delegated APIs are currently represented. Done should include a documented way to express the delegated object's API and tests covering the example and fallback to super.
