Is there a way to intercept the activation of messages which are
not implemented?
For those of you Smalltalkers, I'm talking about #doesNotUnderstand:
In smalltalk, if you send a message to an object, but the object has no
implementation for it, it'll receive a doesNotUnderstand messasge, with the
failed message as argument. You can use this mechanism to implement
proxies or auto accessors, or a lot of other interesting things...
Hooking Bye!
