I don't really recommend the above, unless it's being done by SkinScript.
Otherwise, you're unnecessarily exposing an implementation attribute
(theRealThing).  Instead, require that your object implement a redirect()
method, and define it in the class as "class_default_for_redirect".  Then
you can override the method in SkinScript or with a class extender (a new
0.4.3 feature).  Doing it this way means your framework code will not
incorporate an assumption that your whitebox specialist is always going to
be wrapping someone else's objects.
