Description

For some reason when attempting to intercept methods using the invokeMethod() routine there are a set of methods that are uninterceptable. The methods that I tested are:

• equals()
• hashCode()

I'm sure there are others. This seems like a hole in the whole MetaObjectProtocol, when intercepting methods I should be able to intercept all of them, not just some of them. Since this is being reworked I thought it would be a good time to file a bug.
