module ActiveModel
  # Provides a modified +OrderedHash+ that you can include in your object
  # for handling error messages and interacting with Action Pack helpers.
  # 
  # A minimal implementation could be:
  # 
  #   class Person
  #   
  #     # Required dependency for ActiveModel::Errors
  #     extend ActiveModel::Naming
  # 
  #     def initialize
  #       @errors = ActiveModel::Errors.new(self)
  #     end
  #   
  #     attr_accessor :name
  #     attr_reader   :errors
  #   
  #     def validate!
  #       errors.add(:name, "can not be nil") if name == nil
  #     end
  #   
  #     # The following methods are needed to be minimally implemented
  #
  #     def read_attribute_for_validation(attr)
  #       send(attr)
  #     end
  #   
  #     def ErrorsPerson.human_attribute_name(attr, options = {})
  #       attr
  #     end
  #   
  #     def ErrorsPerson.lookup_ancestors
  #       [self]
  #     end
  #   
  #   end
  # 
  # The last three methods are required in your object for Errors to be
  # able to generate error messages correctly and also handle multiple
  # languages.  Of course, if you extend your object with ActiveModel::Translations
  # you will not need to implement the last two.  Likewise, using
  # ActiveModel::Validations will handle the validation related methods
  # for you.
  # 
  # The above allows you to do:
  # 
  #   p = Person.new
  #   p.validate!             # => ["can not be nil"]
  #   p.errors.full_messages  # => ["name can not be nil"]
  #   # etc..

    # Pass in the instance of the object that is using the errors object.
    #
