+ #
+ # * <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 }
