+description: ActiveRecord is awesome, inheritance is not always so awesome. This gem
+  is for people who want to use ActiveRecord but don't want to be forced to use inheritance
+  in their models.  Magic stuff happens that keeps the ActiveRecord::Base relationship
+  away from your model object graph until runtime but you can still use all the ActiveRecord
+  methods on your model as you're accustomed to.  Also, you now have an inheritance
+  slot freed up - easy peasy :-)
