# We want to generate the methods via module_eval rather than
# define_method, because define_method is slower on dispatch and
# uses more memory (because it creates a closure).
#
# But sometimes the database might return columns with
# characters that are not allowed in normal method names (like
# 'my_column(omg)'. So to work around this we first define with
# the __temp__ identifier, and then use alias method to rename
# it to what we want.
#
# We are also defining a constant to hold the frozen string of
# the attribute name. Using a constant means that we do not have
# to allocate an object on each call to the attribute method.
# Making it frozen means that it doesn't get duped when used to
# key the @attributes_cache in read_attribute.
