These are really cool and understanding how magic is implemented is great, but when you are searching for the "tell_ape" method for 10 mins only to realize that method_missing is doing the magic, it really is a bit of a piss off. If you are going to do these tricks please for the nonwizard ruby coders out there make it blatantly obvious in your README or comments or tests.

This is a fair criticism: I've now updated the examples so they don't involve method_missing so as to not needlessly complicate the issue.

Oh! I didn't mean to insult you or the blog post, I liked it very much, I meant in production code or open source projects. Your blog post was very straightforward and interesting.
