About the metadata.. I think in my case it would be great if I could
redirect the methods on the type to methods on a property of that type.
So for the ShurikenProxy class I would like to say that it needs to forward
all method calls to the property subject for example possibly with an
exception list of methods that won't be forwarded. I guess that would get me
the behavior I'm expecting. Would that be possible?
