# lazy_load_hooks allows rails to lazily load a lot of components and thus making the app boot faster. Because of
# this feature now there is no need to require <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> at boot time purely to apply configuration. Instead
# a hook is registered that applies configuration once <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> is loaded. Here <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> is used
# as example but this feature can be applied elsewhere too.
#
# Here is an example where +on_load+ method is called to register a hook.
#
#   initializer "active_record.initialize_timezone" do
#     ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do
#       self.time_zone_aware_attributes = true
#       self.default_timezone = :utc
#     end
#   end
#
# When the entirety of +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ has been evaluated then +run_load_hooks+ is invoked.
# The very last line of +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ is:
#
#   ActiveSupport.run_load_hooks(:active_record, ActiveRecord::Base)
#
