Interesting idea. I like it.

I've looked through some recipes here, but everything I've looked at
has limitations regarding magic methods and such. Several of the
workarounds involve creating a new subclass on the fly, but without
reading the pickle file to know the type of the return value that
would not be possible.

How would you suggest implementing the delegation? Do you know of a
particularly useful recipe?
