+ # +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.
+ #
+ # # db/schema.rb
+ # create_table :store_listings, force: true do |t|
+ # t.decimal :price_in_cents

+ # # after
+ # store_listing.price_in_cents # => 10
+ #
+ # Users may also define their own custom types, as long as they respond to the methods
+ # 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::Attributes::Type::Value` for the expected API. It is recommended that your
+ # type objects inherit from an existing type, or the base value type.
