+ActiveRecord::AutoBuildAssociations
+===================================
+
+Now you never have to remember to manually call `build_address` or `comments.build` again.
+
+Now you never have to worry about `NoMethodErrors` when you call `user.address.country`.
+
+If you have an associated that should always be there when you need it, whether as a record that is already saved or (if it hasn't been saved yet), a newly built object, you can just add this to your model:
+
+    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+      auto_build_association :address
+    end
+
+This makes it so that any time you do `user.address`, if an existing associated record can't be found, it will automatically call `build_address` for you, ensuring that user.address will always be an instance of `Address` (even if a blank one), instead of sometimes being `nil`.
+
+
+To do
+=====
+
+* Currently it only works for has_one -- make it work for has_many and belongs_to (belongs_to kind of works but not well)
+* Add tests
