Yeah, I have heard a bit about his wilder ideas. I would be very surprised to see them in Java 7, but they'd sure make Java a perfect platform for languages like Ruby. I think we can come up with some creative workarounds until then, however.

  During Gilad's JSR292 talk at JavaOne he mentioned the idea that a special
flag could be added to a class definition so it is marked as dynamic.
This would allow replacement/addition/removal of methods.  The extra flag
would be a cue that all this crazy stuff can happen in that particular class.
He stated this is only a wild idea he has not put much thought into.

  He also mentioned allowing a low level handler to be invokable when
method_missing happens.
