Description

have some kinda way to do this

MethodProxy proxy = metaClass.getMethod("name", List arguments)
if (proxy != null)

{ proxy.call(instance, arguments); }

else

{ // invoke on delegate InvokeHelper.invokeMethod(delegate, name, arguments) }

so rather than just doing 'hasMethod' or 'understandsMethod' we can return
a Closure or MethodProxy or something or null if a method is not understood
