#super_delegate(mod = :none, *args, **kwargs, &block) ⇒ Object

Call the method of the same name defined in the next delegate stored in your object

Because Casting creates an alternative method lookup path using a collection of delegates, you may use ‘super_delegate` to work like `super`.

If you use this feature, be sure that you have created a delegate collection which does have the method you need or you’ll see a NoMethodError.

Example:

module Greeter

def greet
  "Hello"
end

end

module FormalGreeter

include Casting::Super

def greet
  "#{super_delegate}, how do you do?"
end

end

some_object.cast_as(Greeter, FormalGreeter) some_object.greet #=> ‘Hello, how do you do?’
