      # Defines or overrides a property on this model. This allows customization of
      # Active Record's type casting behavior, as well as adding support for user defined
      # types.
      #
      # +name+ The name of the methods to define attribute methods for, and the column which
      # this will persist to.
      #
      # +cast_type+ A type object that contains information about how to type cast the value.
      # See the examples section for more information.
      #
      # ==== Options
      # The options hash accepts the following options:
      #
      # +default+ is the default value that the column should use on a new record.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #
      # The type detected by Active Record can be overriden.
      #

      # defined on the value type. The `type_cast` method on your type object will be called
      # with values both from the database, and from your controllers. See
      # `ActiveRecord::Properties::Type::Value` for the expected API. It is recommended that your
      # type objects inherit from an existing type, or the base value type.
