Current implementation is using an old approach of renaming decorated methods. This approach has some drawback, like the inhability to call super, confusing method names, and other issues explanined here by Justin Weiss https://www.justinweiss.com/articles/rails-5-module-number-prepend-and-the-end-of-alias-method-chain/ The solution was proposed in Rails 5: using Ruby's prepend module to define the methods that need to be decorated. This commit creates a new `ClassName::CaptainHookDecorator` module in each class where `hook` is called, prepends it to the class, and defines the relevant decorator methods in that module
