/**
 * {@link Script} that performs method invocations and property access like {@link groovy.lang.Closure} does.
 *
 * 
 * {@link DelegatingScript} is a convenient basis for loading a custom-defined DSL as a {@link Script}, then execute it.
 * The following sample code illustrates how to do it:
 *
 * 
 * class MyDSL {
 *     public void foo(int x, int y, Closure z) { ... }
 *     public void setBar(String a) { ... }
 * }
 *
 * CompilerConfiguration cc = new CompilerConfiguration();
 * cc.setScriptBaseClass(DelegatingScript.class.getName());
 * GroovyShell sh = new GroovyShell(cl,new Binding(),cc);
 * DelegatingScript script = (DelegatingScript)sh.parse(new File("my.dsl"))
 * script.setDelegate(new MyDSL());
 * script.run();
 * 
 *
 * 
 * my.dsl can look like this:
 *
 * 
 * foo(1,2) {
 *     ....
 * }
 * bar = ...;
 * 
 *
 * 
 * {@link DelegatingScript} does this by delegating property access and method invocation to the delegate object.
 *
 * 

 * More formally speaking, given the following script:
 *
 * 
 * a = 1;
 * b(2);
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Using {@link DelegatingScript} as the base class, the code will run as:
 *
 * 
 * delegate.a = 1;
 * delegate.b(2);
 * 
 *
 * ... whereas in plain {@link Script}, this will be run as:
 *
 *  * binding.setProperty("a",1);
 * ((Closure)binding.getProperty("b")).call(2);
 *
