+# ==== Polymorphic belongs_to
+#
+# Supporting polymorphic relationships is a little bit more complicated, since
+# ActiveRecord needs to know what type your association is pointing at. Something
+# like this should look familiar:
+#
+#   ### in fruit.rb
+#
+#   belongs_to :eater, :polymorphic => true
+#
+#   ### in fruits.yml
+#
+#   apple:
+#     id: 1
+#     name: apple
+#     eater_id: 1
+#     eater_type: Monkey
+#
+# Can we do better? You bet!
+#
+#   apple:
+#     eater: george (Monkey)
+#
+# Just provide the polymorphic target type and ActiveRecord will take care of the rest.
