Bug Description

The introspection on Resource (e.g. methods, respond_to) only returns hard-coded methods (e.g. save, uri) but not the virtual methods from the dynamic attribute container.

wont fix, opinions in Ruby community is that introspection should only show 'real' methods, we have resource.direct_predicates anyway to find out which predicate lookups are supported.

Are you sure that is the opinion of the Ruby community? All of the results on the first page of a Google search for "respond_to method_missing" that give an opinion on the issue say that respond_to? should always indicate whether method_missing is going to actually respond to that method name. For example, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/291132?sort=oldest

Furthermore, respond_to? is implemented by ActiveRecord now, and ActiveRDF is supposed to be like ActiveRecord. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/11538
