[PATCH] delegate documentation

Reported by: dcmanges Assigned to: core
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.x
Component: ActiveSupport Version: edge
Severity: normal Keywords: docs delegate
Cc:

Description

It seems natural to be able to delegate to an object, such as: 

class Foo
  BAR = [0,1,2,3,4]
  delegate :each, :to => BAR
end

But delegate needs a symbol of the instance variable, class variable, or constant. 

class Foo
  BAR = [0,1,2,3,4]
  delegate :each, :to => :BAR
end

This should be documented.

Had to fix the patch for Edge and integrate with what's there, but I think this is good information.
