  # == 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 +define_attribute_methods+ 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 +attributes+ 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.
