Hopefully someone will correct me here. Note that this does not use the roles
as roles; it uses them punned as classes. But it does what you asked :).
Though I have issues with Jonathan's approach (I don't like classes silently
discarding role methods as this has caused us many bugs at the BBC), it's
much cleaner that what I see here. You see, with Jonathan's, you only have
to provide methods for what you're disambiguating, It seems like your code
would require that I specifically list every method which is handled, which
would clearly get unwieldy with large roles or many roles. Did I miss
something?
I agree that's a problem, and hopefully one that should be solved.
The solution I offered solves only your immediate problem.
