  end
  f = Foo.new
  f.printf ...
  f.gets
  f.content_at(1)

== Methods

--- Forwardable#def_instance_delegators(accessor, *methods)

      adding the delegations for each method of ((|methods|)) to
      ((|accessor|)).

--- Forwardable#def_instance_delegator(accessor, method, ali = method)
      
      adding the delegation for ((|method|)) to ((|accessor|)). When

--- Forwardable#def_delegator(accessor, method, ali = method)
      
      the alias of ((|Forwardable#def_instance_delegator|)).

= SingleForwardable
