Hi --


I think you want:

def ob_hello
object.hello
end

ah yes that might be what OP wants, I will follow another track, though.
My initial idea was that OP wants to forward messages to the underlying object:

require 'forwardable'
class Whatever
extend Forwardable
def_delegator output, :hello, bj_hello
end

Whatever.new.obj_hello

This, however does not work on the toplevel.
