  # == Active Model Attribute Methods
  #
  # <tt>ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> provides a way to add prefixes and suffixes
  # to your methods as well as handling the creation of Active Record like class methods
  # such as +table_name+.
  #
  # The requirements to implement ActiveModel::AttributeMethods are to:
  #
  # * <tt>include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> in your object
  # * Call each Attribute Method module method you want to add, such as
  #   attribute_method_suffix or attribute_method_prefix
  # * Call <tt>define_attribute_methods</tt> after the other methods are
  #   called.
  # * Define the various generic +_attribute+ methods that you have declared
  #
  # A minimal implementation could be:
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
  #
  #     attribute_method_affix  :prefix => 'reset_', :suffix => '_to_default!'
  #     attribute_method_suffix '_contrived?'
  #     attribute_method_prefix 'clear_'
  #     define_attribute_methods ['name']
  #
  #     attr_accessor :name
  #
  #     private
  #
  #     def attribute_contrived?(attr)
  #       true
  #     end
  #
  #     def clear_attribute(attr)
  #       send("#{attr}=", nil)
  #     end
  #
  #     def reset_attribute_to_default!(attr)
  #       send("#{attr}=", "Default Name")
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Note that whenever you include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods in your class,
  # it requires you to implement an <tt>attributes</tt> method which returns a hash
  # with each attribute name in your model as hash key and the attribute value as
  # hash value.
  #
  # Hash keys must be strings.

      # A new (class) method will be created with the given name. If a value is

      # 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.
