+methods (except for <tt>\_\_send__</tt> and <tt>\_\_id__</tt>).
+BlankSlate is useful as a base class when writing classes that
+depend upon <tt>method_missing</tt> (e.g. dynamic proxies).
 
-So I built my own. I'll try to keep it up to date with Builder. The first three parts of the version number are the Builder version; the last part is my revision.
