      # 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
