I'd like to make the point that SimpleDelegator doesn't exactly lie about
its class, call `#class` on an instance and you'll get exactly what you
expect. The issue is that it has no `#inspect` method, so when printed on
the console, `#inspect` is delegated and it masquerades as the the object
being wrapped .

This has caught me out several times in the past, so I quite often add an
inspect method myself.
