# If you have an attribute that needs to be saved to the database as an object, and retrieved as the same object,
# then specify the name of that attribute using this method and it will be handled automatically.
# The serialization is done through YAML. If +class_name+ is specified, the serialized object must be of that
# class on retrieval or SerializationTypeMismatch will be raised.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +attr_name+ - The field name that should be serialized.
# * +class_name+ - Optional, class name that the object type should be equal to.
#
# ==== Example
# # Serialize a preferences attribute
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# serialize :preferences
# end
