    # A singleton instance of this class is yielded by Inflector.inflections, which can then be used to specify additional
    # inflection rules. Examples:
    #
    #   ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
    #     inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, '\1\2en'
    #     inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, '\1'
    #
    #     inflect.irregular 'octopus', 'octopi'
    #
    #     inflect.uncountable "equipment"
    #   end
    #
    # New rules are added at the top. So in the example above, the irregular rule for octopus will now be the first of the
    # pluralization and singularization rules that is runs. This guarantees that your rules run before any of the rules that may
    # already have been loaded.

      # Specifies a new acronym. An acronym must be specified as it will appear in a camelized string.  An underscore
      # string that contains the acronym will retain the acronym when passed to `camelize`, `humanize`, or `titleize`.
      # A camelized string that contains the acronym will maintain the acronym when titleized or humanized, and will
      # convert the acronym into a non-delimited single lowercase word when passed to +underscore+.
      #
      # Examples:
      #   acronym 'HTML'
      #   titleize 'html' #=> 'HTML'
      #   camelize 'html' #=> 'HTML'
      #   underscore 'MyHTML' #=> 'my_html'
      #
      # The acronym, however, must occur as a delimited unit and not be part of another word for conversions to recognize it:
      #
      #   acronym 'HTTP'
      #   camelize 'my_http_delimited' #=> 'MyHTTPDelimited'
      #   camelize 'https' #=> 'Https', not 'HTTPs'
      #   underscore 'HTTPS' #=> 'http_s', not 'https'
      #
      #   acronym 'HTTPS'
      #   camelize 'https' #=> 'HTTPS'
      #   underscore 'HTTPS' #=> 'https'
      #
      # Note: Acronyms that are passed to `pluralize` will no longer be recognized, since the acronym will not occur as
      # a delimited unit in the pluralized result. To work around this, you must specify the pluralized form as an
      # acronym as well:
      #
      #    acronym 'API'
      #    camelize(pluralize('api')) #=> 'Apis'
      #
      #    acronym 'APIs'
      #    camelize(pluralize('api')) #=> 'APIs'
      #
      # `acronym` may be used to specify any word that contains an acronym or otherwise needs to maintain a non-standard
      # capitalization. The only restriction is that the word must begin with a capital letter.
      #
      # Examples:
      #   acronym 'RESTful'
      #   underscore 'RESTful' #=> 'restful'
      #   underscore 'RESTfulController' #=> 'restful_controller'
      #   titleize 'RESTfulController' #=> 'RESTful Controller'
      #   camelize 'restful' #=> 'RESTful'
      #   camelize 'restful_controller' #=> 'RESTfulController'
      #
      #   acronym 'McDonald'
      #   underscore 'McDonald' #=> 'mcdonald'
      #   camelize 'mcdonald' #=> 'McDonald'
