# Declare and check for suffixed attribute methods.
module ClassMethods
# Defines an "attribute" method (like +inheritance_column+ or
# +table_name+). A new (class) method will be created with the
# given name. If a value is specified, the new method will
# return that value (as a string). Otherwise, the given block
# will be used to compute the value of the method.
#
# The original method will be aliased, with the new name being
# prefixed with "original_". This allows the new method to
# access the original value.
#
# Example:
#
# class A < ActiveRecord::Base
# define_attr_method :primary_key, "sysid"
# define_attr_method( :inheritance_column ) do
# original_inheritance_column + "_id"
# end
# end

# use eval instead of a block to work around a memory leak in dev
# mode in fcgi
