# BlankSlate provides an abstract base class with no predefined

# BlankSlate is useful as a base class when writing classes that
# depend upon <tt>method_missing</tt> (e.g. dynamic proxies).

# This Jsonify implementation of BlankSlate is identical; with the
# exception that it does not include the Kernel, Module, and Object
# patches.
