# The +helper+ class method can take a series of helper module names, a block, or both.
#
# * <tt>*args</tt>: One or more modules, strings or symbols, or the special symbol <tt>:all</tt>.
# * <tt>&block</tt>: A block defining helper methods.
#
# ==== Examples
# When the argument is a string or symbol, the method will provide the "_helper" suffix, require the file
# and include the module in the template class. The second form illustrates how to include custom helpers
# when working with namespaced controllers, or other cases where the file containing the helper definition is not
# in one of Rails' standard load paths:
# helper :foo # => requires 'foo_helper' and includes FooHelper
# helper 'resources/foo' # => requires 'resources/foo_helper' and includes Resources::FooHelper
#
# When the argument is a module it will be included directly in the template class.
# helper FooHelper # => includes FooHelper
#
# When the argument is the symbol <tt>:all</tt>, the controller will include all helpers beneath
# <tt>ActionController::Base.helpers_dir</tt> (defaults to <tt>app/helpers/**/*.rb</tt> under RAILS_ROOT).
# helper :all
#
# Additionally, the +helper+ class method can receive and evaluate a block, making the methods defined available
# to the template.
# # One line
# helper { def hello() "Hello, world!" end }
# # Multi-line
# helper do
# def foo(bar)
# "#{bar} is the very best"
# end
# end
#
# Finally, all the above styles can be mixed together, and the +helper+ method can be invoked with a mix of
# +symbols+, +strings+, +modules+ and blocks.
# helper(:three, BlindHelper) { def mice() 'mice' end }
#
