I would redefine the method_missing feature (Ruby) in the model User.
Something like

  class User
    def method_missing(sym, *args, &block)
      if (user_auth_info and user_auth_info.respond_to? name) then
        return auth_info.send(sym, *args, &block) 
      else
        super
      end
    end
  end

This is NOT TESTED.
