# Set this to true if this is an abstract class (see <tt>abstract_class?</tt>).
+ # If you are using inheritance with ActiveRecord and don't want child classes
+ # to utilize the implied STI table name of the parent class, this will need to be true.
+ # For example, given the following:
+ #
+ # class SuperClass < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # self.abstract_class = true
+ # end
+ # class Child < SuperClass
+ # self.table_name = 'the_table_i_really_want'
