Ugh, I'm just skimming this but it sounds like quick forwarding syntax in Ruby went through a mess of hiccups in development, which is sad, because I think the obsession with C/C++ as the gold standard of language development for so long really held the industry back. I love languages that offer convenient forwarding - the verbosity of forwarding in traditionalist C/C++-style programming languages is imho a big source of the horrible abuses of inheritance. Such a shame it's mostly provided in languages that are too dynamic-typed for my tastes.
