"Automatic delegation" is what I want.  I've even invented my own little 
syntax for it:

public SomeClass extends Fubar implements List(myList), OtherThing {

   private AbstractList myList = new ArrayList();

...

}


where the parenthesis in the interface list is a forward declaration to 
a field that will be the delegate for that particular interface.  It 
really shouldn't be that hard to do, just a few synthetic methods.

I really rather upset that we aren't getting something like this with 
Java 8.  I don't see any reason not to fix this right now, honestly.
