Yes.  After looking at it, it appears the "goal" of Igor's
MessageCatchingProxy is to have a "clean slate" proxy.  I don't know
how this differs from simply inheriting from nil, unless it's to help
the tools (Browsers, etc.), which may rely on some Object/ProtoObject
methods, to work.

I can understand perhaps for a message counting or logging tool,
MessageCatchingProxy would make a lot of sense.  In my case for a DB
proxy, I'd end up copying at least several of the methods from
ProtoObject.

Whether one wants their proxy be a "clean slate" or inherit a "minimal
API", depends on what they want to do..
