+      # composed of Money [among other things]" or "Person [is] composed of [an] address". Each call
+      # to the macro adds a description of how the value objects are created from the attributes of
+      # the entity object (when the entity is initialized either as a new object or from finding an
+      # existing object) and how it can be turned back into attributes (when the entity is saved to
+      # the database).
+      #
+      #   class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     composed_of :balance, class_name: "Money", mapping: %w(balance amount)
+      #     composed_of :address, mapping: [ %w(address_street street), %w(address_city city) ]
+      #   end
+      #
+      # The customer class now has the following methods to manipulate the value objects:
+      # * <tt>Customer#balance, Customer#balance=(money)</tt>
+      # * <tt>Customer#address, Customer#address=(address)</tt>
+      #
+      # These methods will operate with value objects like the ones described below:

+      #  class Money
+      #    include Comparable
+      #    attr_reader :amount, :currency

+      #      Money.new(exchanged_amount, other_currency)

+      #    end
+      #
+      #    def <=>(other_money)
+      #      if currency == other_money.currency
+      #        amount <=> other_money.amount
+      #      else
+      #        amount <=> other_money.exchange_to(currency).amount
+      #      end
+      #    end
+      #  end
+      #
+      #  class Address
+      #    attr_reader :street, :city
+      #    def initialize(street, city)
+      #      @street, @city = street, city

+      #  end
+      #
+      # Now it's possible to access attributes from the database through the value objects instead. If
+      # you choose to name the composition the same as the attribute's name, it will be the only way to
+      # access that attribute. That's the case with our +balance+ attribute. You interact with the value
+      # objects just like you would with any other attribute:
+      #
+      #   customer.balance = Money.new(20)     # sets the Money value object and the attribute
+      #   customer.balance                     # => Money value object
+      #   customer.balance.exchange_to("DKK")  # => Money.new(120, "DKK")
+      #   customer.balance > Money.new(10)     # => true
+      #   customer.balance == Money.new(20)    # => true
+      #   customer.balance < Money.new(5)      # => false
+      #
+      # Value objects can also be composed of multiple attributes, such as the case of Address. The order
+      # of the mappings will determine the order of the parameters.
+      #
+      #   customer.address_street = "Hyancintvej"
+      #   customer.address_city   = "Copenhagen"
+      #   customer.address        # => Address.new("Hyancintvej", "Copenhagen")
+      #
+      #   customer.address = Address.new("May Street", "Chicago")
+      #   customer.address_street # => "May Street"
+      #   customer.address_city   # => "Chicago"
+      #
+      # == Writing value objects
+      #
+      # Value objects are immutable and interchangeable objects that represent a given value, such as
+      # a Money object representing $5. Two Money objects both representing $5 should be equal (through
+      # methods such as <tt>==</tt> and <tt><=></tt> from Comparable if ranking makes sense). This is
+      # unlike entity objects where equality is determined by identity. An entity class such as Customer can
+      # easily have two different objects that both have an address on Hyancintvej. Entity identity is
+      # determined by object or relational unique identifiers (such as primary keys). Normal
+      # ActiveRecord::Base classes are entity objects.
+      #
+      # It's also important to treat the value objects as immutable. Don't allow the Money object to have
+      # its amount changed after creation. Create a new Money object with the new value instead. The
+      # <tt>Money#exchange_to</tt> method is an example of this. It returns a new value object instead of changing
+      # its own values. Active Record won't persist value objects that have been changed through means
+      # other than the writer method.
+      #
+      # The immutable requirement is enforced by Active Record by freezing any object assigned as a value
+      # object. Attempting to change it afterwards will result in a +RuntimeError+.
+      #
+      # Read more about value objects on http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ValueObject and on the dangers of not
+      # keeping value objects immutable on http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ValueObjectsShouldBeImmutable
+      #
+      # == Custom constructors and converters
+      #
+      # By default value objects are initialized by calling the <tt>new</tt> constructor of the value
+      # class passing each of the mapped attributes, in the order specified by the <tt>:mapping</tt>
+      # option, as arguments. If the value class doesn't support this convention then #composed_of allows
+      # a custom constructor to be specified.
+      #
+      # When a new value is assigned to the value object, the default assumption is that the new value
+      # is an instance of the value class. Specifying a custom converter allows the new value to be automatically
+      # converted to an instance of value class if necessary.
+      #
+      # For example, the +NetworkResource+ model has +network_address+ and +cidr_range+ attributes that should be
+      # aggregated using the +NetAddr::CIDR+ value class (http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/netaddr/1.5.0/NetAddr/CIDR).
+      # The constructor for the value class is called +create+ and it expects a CIDR address string as a parameter.
+      # New values can be assigned to the value object using either another +NetAddr::CIDR+ object, a string
+      # or an array. The <tt>:constructor</tt> and <tt>:converter</tt> options can be used to meet
+      # these requirements:
+      #
+      #   class NetworkResource < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     composed_of :cidr,
+      #                 class_name: 'NetAddr::CIDR',
+      #                 mapping: [ %w(network_address network), %w(cidr_range bits) ],
+      #                 allow_nil: true,
+      #                 constructor: Proc.new { |network_address, cidr_range| NetAddr::CIDR.create("#{network_address}/#{cidr_range}") },
+      #                 converter: Proc.new { |value| NetAddr::CIDR.create(value.is_a?(Array) ? value.join('/') : value) }
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   # This calls the :constructor
+      #   network_resource = NetworkResource.new(network_address: '192.168.0.1', cidr_range: 24)
+      #
+      #   # These assignments will both use the :converter
+      #   network_resource.cidr = [ '192.168.2.1', 8 ]
+      #   network_resource.cidr = '192.168.0.1/24'
+      #
+      #   # This assignment won't use the :converter as the value is already an instance of the value class
+      #   network_resource.cidr = NetAddr::CIDR.create('192.168.2.1/8')
+      #
+      #   # Saving and then reloading will use the :constructor on reload
+      #   network_resource.save
+      #   network_resource.reload
+      #
+      # == Finding records by a value object
+      #
+      # Once a #composed_of relationship is specified for a model, records can be loaded from the database
+      # by specifying an instance of the value object in the conditions hash. The following example
+      # finds all customers with +address_street+ equal to "May Street" and +address_city+ equal to "Chicago":
+      #
+      #   Customer.where(address: Address.new("May Street", "Chicago"))
+      #
+      module ClassMethods
+        # Adds reader and writer methods for manipulating a value object:
+        # <tt>composed_of :address</tt> adds <tt>address</tt> and <tt>address=(new_address)</tt> methods.
+        #
+        # Options are:
+        # * <tt>:class_name</tt> - Specifies the class name of the association. Use it only if that name
+        #   can't be inferred from the part id. So <tt>composed_of :address</tt> will by default be linked
+        #   to the Address class, but if the real class name is +CompanyAddress+, you'll have to specify it
+        #   with this option.
+        # * <tt>:mapping</tt> - Specifies the mapping of entity attributes to attributes of the value
+        #   object. Each mapping is represented as an array where the first item is the name of the
+        #   entity attribute and the second item is the name of the attribute in the value object. The
+        #   order in which mappings are defined determines the order in which attributes are sent to the
+        #   value class constructor.
+        # * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - Specifies that the value object will not be instantiated when all mapped
+        #   attributes are +nil+. Setting the value object to +nil+ has the effect of writing +nil+ to all
+        #   mapped attributes.
+        #   This defaults to +false+.
+        # * <tt>:constructor</tt> - A symbol specifying the name of the constructor method or a Proc that
+        #   is called to initialize the value object. The constructor is passed all of the mapped attributes,
+        #   in the order that they are defined in the <tt>:mapping option</tt>, as arguments and uses them
+        #   to instantiate a <tt>:class_name</tt> object.
+        #   The default is <tt>:new</tt>.
+        # * <tt>:converter</tt> - A symbol specifying the name of a class method of <tt>:class_name</tt>
+        #   or a Proc that is called when a new value is assigned to the value object. The converter is
+        #   passed the single value that is used in the assignment and is only called if the new value is
+        #   not an instance of <tt>:class_name</tt>. If <tt>:allow_nil</tt> is set to true, the converter
+        #   can return +nil+ to skip the assignment.
+        #
+        # Option examples:
+        #   composed_of :temperature, mapping: %w(reading celsius)
+        #   composed_of :balance, class_name: "Money", mapping: %w(balance amount)
+        #   composed_of :address, mapping: [ %w(address_street street), %w(address_city city) ]
+        #   composed_of :gps_location
+        #   composed_of :gps_location, allow_nil: true
+        #   composed_of :ip_address,
+        #               class_name: 'IPAddr',
+        #               mapping: %w(ip to_i),
+        #               constructor: Proc.new { |ip| IPAddr.new(ip, Socket::AF_INET) },

+      # Don't create associations that have the same name as {instance methods}[rdoc-ref:ActiveRecord::Core] of

+      # its model, using an association with the same name as one provided by <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> will override the method inherited through <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> and will break things.
+      # For instance, +attributes+ and +connection+ would be bad choices for association names, because those names already exist in the list of <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> instance methods.

+      # === Overriding generated methods
+      #
+      # Association methods are generated in a module included into the model
+      # class, making overrides easy. The original generated method can thus be
+      # called with +super+:
+      #
+      #   class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :owner
+      #     belongs_to :old_owner
+      #
+      #     def owner=(new_owner)
+      #       self.old_owner = self.owner
+      #       super
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      # The association methods module is included immediately after the
+      # generated attributes methods module, meaning an association will
+      # override the methods for an attribute with the same name.
+      #
+      # == Cardinality and associations
+      #
+      # Active Record associations can be used to describe one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many
+      # relationships between models. Each model uses an association to describe its role in
+      # the relation. The #belongs_to association is always used in the model that has
+      # the foreign key.
+      #
+      # === One-to-one
+      #
+      # Use #has_one in the base, and #belongs_to in the associated model.
+      #
+      #   class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_one :office
+      #   end
+      #   class Office < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :employee    # foreign key - employee_id
+      #   end
+      #
+      # === One-to-many
+      #
+      # Use #has_many in the base, and #belongs_to in the associated model.
+      #
+      #   class Manager < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :employees
+      #   end
+      #   class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :manager     # foreign key - manager_id
+      #   end
+      #
+      # === Many-to-many
+      #
+      # There are two ways to build a many-to-many relationship.
+      #
+      # The first way uses a #has_many association with the <tt>:through</tt> option and a join model, so
+      # there are two stages of associations.
+      #
+      #   class Assignment < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :programmer  # foreign key - programmer_id
+      #     belongs_to :project     # foreign key - project_id
+      #   end
+      #   class Programmer < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :assignments
+      #     has_many :projects, through: :assignments
+      #   end
+      #   class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :assignments
+      #     has_many :programmers, through: :assignments
+      #   end
+      #
+      # For the second way, use #has_and_belongs_to_many in both models. This requires a join table
+      # that has no corresponding model or primary key.
+      #
+      #   class Programmer < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_and_belongs_to_many :projects       # foreign keys in the join table
+      #   end
+      #   class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_and_belongs_to_many :programmers    # foreign keys in the join table
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Choosing which way to build a many-to-many relationship is not always simple.
+      # If you need to work with the relationship model as its own entity,
+      # use #has_many <tt>:through</tt>. Use #has_and_belongs_to_many when working with legacy schemas or when
+      # you never work directly with the relationship itself.
+      #
+      # == Is it a #belongs_to or #has_one association?
+      #
+      # Both express a 1-1 relationship. The difference is mostly where to place the foreign
+      # key, which goes on the table for the class declaring the #belongs_to relationship.
+      #
+      #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     # I reference an account.
+      #     belongs_to :account
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     # One user references me.
+      #     has_one :user
+      #   end
+      #
+      # The tables for these classes could look something like:
+      #
+      #   CREATE TABLE users (
+      #     id bigint NOT NULL auto_increment,
+      #     account_id bigint default NULL,
+      #     name varchar default NULL,
+      #     PRIMARY KEY  (id)
+      #   )
+      #
+      #   CREATE TABLE accounts (
+      #     id bigint NOT NULL auto_increment,
+      #     name varchar default NULL,
+      #     PRIMARY KEY  (id)
+      #   )
+      #
+      # == Unsaved objects and associations
+      #
+      # You can manipulate objects and associations before they are saved to the database, but
+      # there is some special behavior you should be aware of, mostly involving the saving of
+      # associated objects.
+      #
+      # You can set the <tt>:autosave</tt> option on a #has_one, #belongs_to,
+      # #has_many, or #has_and_belongs_to_many association. Setting it
+      # to +true+ will _always_ save the members, whereas setting it to +false+ will
+      # _never_ save the members. More details about <tt>:autosave</tt> option is available at
+      # AutosaveAssociation.
+      #
+      # === One-to-one associations
+      #
+      # * Assigning an object to a #has_one association automatically saves that object and
+      #   the object being replaced (if there is one), in order to update their foreign
+      #   keys - except if the parent object is unsaved (<tt>new_record? == true</tt>).
+      # * If either of these saves fail (due to one of the objects being invalid), an
+      #   ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved exception is raised and the assignment is
+      #   cancelled.
+      # * If you wish to assign an object to a #has_one association without saving it,
+      #   use the <tt>#build_association</tt> method (documented below). The object being
+      #   replaced will still be saved to update its foreign key.
+      # * Assigning an object to a #belongs_to association does not save the object, since
+      #   the foreign key field belongs on the parent. It does not save the parent either.
+      #
+      # === Collections
+      #
+      # * Adding an object to a collection (#has_many or #has_and_belongs_to_many) automatically
+      #   saves that object, except if the parent object (the owner of the collection) is not yet
+      #   stored in the database.
+      # * If saving any of the objects being added to a collection (via <tt>push</tt> or similar)
+      #   fails, then <tt>push</tt> returns +false+.
+      # * If saving fails while replacing the collection (via <tt>association=</tt>), an
+      #   ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved exception is raised and the assignment is
+      #   cancelled.
+      # * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the
+      #   <tt>collection.build</tt> method (documented below).
+      # * All unsaved (<tt>new_record? == true</tt>) members of the collection are automatically
+      #   saved when the parent is saved.
+      #
+      # == Customizing the query
+      #
+      # \Associations are built from <tt>Relation</tt> objects, and you can use the Relation syntax
+      # to customize them. For example, to add a condition:
+      #
+      #   class Blog < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :published_posts, -> { where(published: true) }, class_name: 'Post'
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Inside the <tt>-> { ... }</tt> block you can use all of the usual Relation methods.
+      #
+      # === Accessing the owner object
+      #
+      # Sometimes it is useful to have access to the owner object when building the query. The owner
+      # is passed as a parameter to the block. For example, the following association would find all
+      # events that occur on the user's birthday:
+      #
+      #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :birthday_events, ->(user) { where(starts_on: user.birthday) }, class_name: 'Event'
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Note: Joining, eager loading and preloading of these associations is not possible.
+      # These operations happen before instance creation and the scope will be called with a +nil+ argument.
+      #
+      # == Association callbacks
+      #
+      # Similar to the normal callbacks that hook into the life cycle of an Active Record object,
+      # you can also define callbacks that get triggered when you add an object to or remove an
+      # object from an association collection.
+      #
+      #   class Project
+      #     has_and_belongs_to_many :developers, after_add: :evaluate_velocity
+      #
+      #     def evaluate_velocity(developer)
+      #       ...
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      # It's possible to stack callbacks by passing them as an array. Example:
+      #
+      #   class Project
+      #     has_and_belongs_to_many :developers,
+      #                             after_add: [:evaluate_velocity, Proc.new { |p, d| p.shipping_date = Time.now}]
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Possible callbacks are: +before_add+, +after_add+, +before_remove+ and +after_remove+.
+      #
+      # If any of the +before_add+ callbacks throw an exception, the object will not be
+      # added to the collection.
+      #
+      # Similarly, if any of the +before_remove+ callbacks throw an exception, the object
+      # will not be removed from the collection.
+      #
+      # == Association extensions
+      #
+      # The proxy objects that control the access to associations can be extended through anonymous
+      # modules. This is especially beneficial for adding new finders, creators, and other
+      # factory-type methods that are only used as part of this association.
+      #
+      #   class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :people do
+      #       def find_or_create_by_name(name)
+      #         first_name, last_name = name.split(" ", 2)
+      #         find_or_create_by(first_name: first_name, last_name: last_name)
+      #       end
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   person = Account.first.people.find_or_create_by_name("David Heinemeier Hansson")
+      #   person.first_name # => "David"
+      #   person.last_name  # => "Heinemeier Hansson"
+      #
+      # If you need to share the same extensions between many associations, you can use a named
+      # extension module.
+      #
+      #   module FindOrCreateByNameExtension
+      #     def find_or_create_by_name(name)
+      #       first_name, last_name = name.split(" ", 2)
+      #       find_or_create_by(first_name: first_name, last_name: last_name)
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :people, -> { extending FindOrCreateByNameExtension }
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :people, -> { extending FindOrCreateByNameExtension }
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Some extensions can only be made to work with knowledge of the association's internals.
+      # Extensions can access relevant state using the following methods (where +items+ is the
+      # name of the association):
+      #
+      # * <tt>record.association(:items).owner</tt> - Returns the object the association is part of.
+      # * <tt>record.association(:items).reflection</tt> - Returns the reflection object that describes the association.
+      # * <tt>record.association(:items).target</tt> - Returns the associated object for #belongs_to and #has_one, or
+      #   the collection of associated objects for #has_many and #has_and_belongs_to_many.
+      #
+      # However, inside the actual extension code, you will not have access to the <tt>record</tt> as
+      # above. In this case, you can access <tt>proxy_association</tt>. For example,
+      # <tt>record.association(:items)</tt> and <tt>record.items.proxy_association</tt> will return
+      # the same object, allowing you to make calls like <tt>proxy_association.owner</tt> inside
+      # association extensions.
+      #
+      # == Association Join Models
+      #
+      # Has Many associations can be configured with the <tt>:through</tt> option to use an
+      # explicit join model to retrieve the data. This operates similarly to a
+      # #has_and_belongs_to_many association. The advantage is that you're able to add validations,
+      # callbacks, and extra attributes on the join model. Consider the following schema:
+      #
+      #   class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :authorships
+      #     has_many :books, through: :authorships
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Authorship < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :author
+      #     belongs_to :book
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   @author = Author.first
+      #   @author.authorships.collect { |a| a.book } # selects all books that the author's authorships belong to
+      #   @author.books                              # selects all books by using the Authorship join model
+      #
+      # You can also go through a #has_many association on the join model:
+      #
+      #   class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many   :clients
+      #     has_many   :invoices, through: :clients
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Client < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :firm
+      #     has_many   :invoices
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :client
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   @firm = Firm.first
+      #   @firm.clients.flat_map { |c| c.invoices } # select all invoices for all clients of the firm
+      #   @firm.invoices                            # selects all invoices by going through the Client join model
+      #
+      # Similarly you can go through a #has_one association on the join model:
+      #
+      #   class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many   :users
+      #     has_many   :avatars, through: :users
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :group
+      #     has_one    :avatar
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Avatar < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :user
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   @group = Group.first
+      #   @group.users.collect { |u| u.avatar }.compact # select all avatars for all users in the group
+      #   @group.avatars                                # selects all avatars by going through the User join model.
+      #
+      # An important caveat with going through #has_one or #has_many associations on the
+      # join model is that these associations are *read-only*. For example, the following
+      # would not work following the previous example:
+      #
+      #   @group.avatars << Avatar.new   # this would work if User belonged_to Avatar rather than the other way around
+      #   @group.avatars.delete(@group.avatars.last)  # so would this
+      #
+      # == Setting Inverses
+      #
+      # If you are using a #belongs_to on the join model, it is a good idea to set the
+      # <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option on the #belongs_to, which will mean that the following example
+      # works correctly (where <tt>tags</tt> is a #has_many <tt>:through</tt> association):
+      #
+      #   @post = Post.first
+      #   @tag = @post.tags.build name: "ruby"
+      #   @tag.save
+      #
+      # The last line ought to save the through record (a <tt>Tagging</tt>). This will only work if the
+      # <tt>:inverse_of</tt> is set:
+      #
+      #   class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :post
+      #     belongs_to :tag, inverse_of: :taggings
+      #   end
+      #
+      # If you do not set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> record, the association will
+      # do its best to match itself up with the correct inverse. Automatic
+      # inverse detection only works on #has_many, #has_one, and
+      # #belongs_to associations.
+      #
+      # Extra options on the associations, as defined in the
+      # <tt>AssociationReflection::INVALID_AUTOMATIC_INVERSE_OPTIONS</tt>
+      # constant, or a custom scope, will also prevent the association's inverse
+      # from being found automatically.
+      #
+      # The automatic guessing of the inverse association uses a heuristic based
+      # on the name of the class, so it may not work for all associations,
+      # especially the ones with non-standard names.
+      #
+      # You can turn off the automatic detection of inverse associations by setting
+      # the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option to <tt>false</tt> like so:
+      #
+      #   class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :tag, inverse_of: false
+      #   end
+      #
+      # == Nested \Associations
+      #
+      # You can actually specify *any* association with the <tt>:through</tt> option, including an
+      # association which has a <tt>:through</tt> option itself. For example:
+      #
+      #   class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :posts
+      #     has_many :comments, through: :posts
+      #     has_many :commenters, through: :comments
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :comments
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :commenter
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   @author = Author.first
+      #   @author.commenters # => People who commented on posts written by the author
+      #
+      # An equivalent way of setting up this association this would be:
+      #
+      #   class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :posts
+      #     has_many :commenters, through: :posts
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :comments
+      #     has_many :commenters, through: :comments
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :commenter
+      #   end
+      #
+      # When using a nested association, you will not be able to modify the association because there
+      # is not enough information to know what modification to make. For example, if you tried to
+      # add a <tt>Commenter</tt> in the example above, there would be no way to tell how to set up the
+      # intermediate <tt>Post</tt> and <tt>Comment</tt> objects.
+      #
+      # == Polymorphic \Associations
+      #
+      # Polymorphic associations on models are not restricted on what types of models they
+      # can be associated with. Rather, they specify an interface that a #has_many association
+      # must adhere to.
+      #
+      #   class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :attachable, polymorphic: true
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :assets, as: :attachable         # The :as option specifies the polymorphic interface to use.
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   @asset.attachable = @post
+      #
+      # This works by using a type column in addition to a foreign key to specify the associated
+      # record. In the Asset example, you'd need an +attachable_id+ integer column and an
+      # +attachable_type+ string column.
+      #
+      # Using polymorphic associations in combination with single table inheritance (STI) is
+      # a little tricky. In order for the associations to work as expected, ensure that you
+      # store the base model for the STI models in the type column of the polymorphic
+      # association. To continue with the asset example above, suppose there are guest posts
+      # and member posts that use the posts table for STI. In this case, there must be a +type+
+      # column in the posts table.
+      #
+      # Note: The <tt>attachable_type=</tt> method is being called when assigning an +attachable+.
+      # The +class_name+ of the +attachable+ is passed as a String.
+      #
+      #   class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :attachable, polymorphic: true
+      #
+      #     def attachable_type=(class_name)
+      #        super(class_name.constantize.base_class.to_s)
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     # because we store "Post" in attachable_type now dependent: :destroy will work
+      #     has_many :assets, as: :attachable, dependent: :destroy
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class GuestPost < Post
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   class MemberPost < Post
+      #   end
+      #
+      # == Caching
+      #
+      # All of the methods are built on a simple caching principle that will keep the result
+      # of the last query around unless specifically instructed not to. The cache is even
+      # shared across methods to make it even cheaper to use the macro-added methods without
+      # worrying too much about performance at the first go.
+      #
+      #   project.milestones             # fetches milestones from the database
+      #   project.milestones.size        # uses the milestone cache
+      #   project.milestones.empty?      # uses the milestone cache
+      #   project.milestones.reload.size # fetches milestones from the database
+      #   project.milestones             # uses the milestone cache
+      #
+      # == Eager loading of associations
+      #
+      # Eager loading is a way to find objects of a certain class and a number of named associations.
+      # It is one of the easiest ways to prevent the dreaded N+1 problem in which fetching 100
+      # posts that each need to display their author triggers 101 database queries. Through the
+      # use of eager loading, the number of queries will be reduced from 101 to 2.
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :author
+      #     has_many   :comments
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Consider the following loop using the class above:
+      #
+      #   Post.all.each do |post|
+      #     puts "Post:            " + post.title
+      #     puts "Written by:      " + post.author.name
+      #     puts "Last comment on: " + post.comments.first.created_on
+      #   end
+      #
+      # To iterate over these one hundred posts, we'll generate 201 database queries. Let's
+      # first just optimize it for retrieving the author:
+      #
+      #   Post.includes(:author).each do |post|
+      #
+      # This references the name of the #belongs_to association that also used the <tt>:author</tt>
+      # symbol. After loading the posts, +find+ will collect the +author_id+ from each one and load
+      # all of the referenced authors with one query. Doing so will cut down the number of queries
+      # from 201 to 102.
+      #
+      # We can improve upon the situation further by referencing both associations in the finder with:
+      #
+      #   Post.includes(:author, :comments).each do |post|
+      #
+      # This will load all comments with a single query. This reduces the total number of queries
+      # to 3. In general, the number of queries will be 1 plus the number of associations
+      # named (except if some of the associations are polymorphic #belongs_to - see below).
+      #
+      # To include a deep hierarchy of associations, use a hash:
+      #
+      #   Post.includes(:author, { comments: { author: :gravatar } }).each do |post|
+      #
+      # The above code will load all the comments and all of their associated
+      # authors and gravatars. You can mix and match any combination of symbols,
+      # arrays, and hashes to retrieve the associations you want to load.
+      #
+      # All of this power shouldn't fool you into thinking that you can pull out huge amounts
+      # of data with no performance penalty just because you've reduced the number of queries.
+      # The database still needs to send all the data to Active Record and it still needs to
+      # be processed. So it's no catch-all for performance problems, but it's a great way to
+      # cut down on the number of queries in a situation as the one described above.
+      #
+      # Since only one table is loaded at a time, conditions or orders cannot reference tables
+      # other than the main one. If this is the case, Active Record falls back to the previously
+      # used <tt>LEFT OUTER JOIN</tt> based strategy. For example:
+      #
+      #   Post.includes([:author, :comments]).where(['comments.approved = ?', true])
+      #
+      # This will result in a single SQL query with joins along the lines of:
+      # <tt>LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = posts.id</tt> and
+      # <tt>LEFT OUTER JOIN authors ON authors.id = posts.author_id</tt>. Note that using conditions
+      # like this can have unintended consequences.
+      # In the above example, posts with no approved comments are not returned at all because
+      # the conditions apply to the SQL statement as a whole and not just to the association.
+      #
+      # You must disambiguate column references for this fallback to happen, for example
+      # <tt>order: "author.name DESC"</tt> will work but <tt>order: "name DESC"</tt> will not.
+      #
+      # If you want to load all posts (including posts with no approved comments), then write
+      # your own <tt>LEFT OUTER JOIN</tt> query using <tt>ON</tt>:
+      #
+      #   Post.joins("LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = posts.id AND comments.approved = '1'")
+      #
+      # In this case, it is usually more natural to include an association which has conditions defined on it:
+      #
+      #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :approved_comments, -> { where(approved: true) }, class_name: 'Comment'
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   Post.includes(:approved_comments)
+      #
+      # This will load posts and eager load the +approved_comments+ association, which contains
+      # only those comments that have been approved.
+      #
+      # If you eager load an association with a specified <tt>:limit</tt> option, it will be ignored,
+      # returning all the associated objects:
+      #
+      #   class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_many :most_recent_comments, -> { order('id DESC').limit(10) }, class_name: 'Comment'
+      #   end
+      #
+      #   Picture.includes(:most_recent_comments).first.most_recent_comments # => returns all associated comments.
+      #
+      # Eager loading is supported with polymorphic associations.
+      #
+      #   class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     belongs_to :addressable, polymorphic: true
+      #   end
+      #
+      # A call that tries to eager load the addressable model
+      #
+      #   Address.includes(:addressable)
+      #
+      # This will execute one query to load the addresses and load the addressables with one
+      # query per addressable type.
+      # For example, if all the addressables are either of class Person or Company, then a total
+      # of 3 queries will be executed. The list of addressable types to load is determined on
+      # the back of the addresses loaded. This is not supported if Active Record has to fallback
+      # to the previous implementation of eager loading and will raise ActiveRecord::EagerLoadPolymorphicError.
+      # The reason is that the parent model's type is a column value so its corresponding table
+      # name cannot be put in the +FROM+/+JOIN+ clauses of that query.
+      #
+      # == Table Aliasing
+      #
+      # Active Record uses table aliasing in the case that a table is referenced multiple times
+      # in a join. If a table is referenced only once, the standard table name is used. The
+      # second time, the table is aliased as <tt>#{reflection_name}_#{parent_table_name}</tt>.
+      # Indexes are appended for any more successive uses of the table name.
+      #
+      #   Post.joins(:comments)
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments ON ...
+      #   Post.joins(:special_comments) # STI
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments ON ... AND comments.type = 'SpecialComment'
+      #   Post.joins(:comments, :special_comments) # special_comments is the reflection name, posts is the parent table name
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments ON ... INNER JOIN comments special_comments_posts
+      #
+      # Acts as tree example:
+      #
+      #   TreeMixin.joins(:children)
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+      #   TreeMixin.joins(children: :parent)
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+      #                               INNER JOIN parents_mixins ...
+      #   TreeMixin.joins(children: {parent: :children})
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+      #                               INNER JOIN parents_mixins ...
+      #                               INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins_2
+      #
+      # Has and Belongs to Many join tables use the same idea, but add a <tt>_join</tt> suffix:
+      #
+      #   Post.joins(:categories)
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN categories_posts ... INNER JOIN categories ...
+      #   Post.joins(categories: :posts)
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN categories_posts ... INNER JOIN categories ...
+      #                              INNER JOIN categories_posts posts_categories_join INNER JOIN posts posts_categories
+      #   Post.joins(categories: {posts: :categories})
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN categories_posts ... INNER JOIN categories ...
+      #                              INNER JOIN categories_posts posts_categories_join INNER JOIN posts posts_categories
+      #                              INNER JOIN categories_posts categories_posts_join INNER JOIN categories categories_posts_2
+      #
+      # If you wish to specify your own custom joins using ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#joins method, those table
+      # names will take precedence over the eager associations:
+      #
+      #   Post.joins(:comments).joins("inner join comments ...")
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments_posts ON ... INNER JOIN comments ...
+      #   Post.joins(:comments, :special_comments).joins("inner join comments ...")
+      #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments comments_posts ON ...
+      #                              INNER JOIN comments special_comments_posts ...
+      #                              INNER JOIN comments ...
+      #
+      # Table aliases are automatically truncated according to the maximum length of table identifiers
+      # according to the specific database.
+      #
+      # == Modules
+      #
+      # By default, associations will look for objects within the current module scope. Consider:
+      #
+      #   module MyApplication
+      #     module Business
+      #       class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #         has_many :clients
+      #       end
+      #
+      #       class Client < ActiveRecord::Base; end
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      # When <tt>Firm#clients</tt> is called, it will in turn call
+      # <tt>MyApplication::Business::Client.find_all_by_firm_id(firm.id)</tt>.
+      # If you want to associate with a class in another module scope, this can be done by
+      # specifying the complete class name.
+      #
+      #   module MyApplication
+      #     module Business
+      #       class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base; end
+      #     end
+      #
+      #     module Billing
+      #       class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #         belongs_to :firm, class_name: "MyApplication::Business::Firm"
+      #       end
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      # == Bi-directional associations
+      #
+      # When you specify an association, there is usually an association on the associated model
+      # that specifies the same relationship in reverse. For example, with the following models:
+      #
+      #    class Dungeon < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      has_many :traps
+      #      has_one :evil_wizard
+      #    end
+      #
+      #    class Trap < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      belongs_to :dungeon
+      #    end
+      #
+      #    class EvilWizard < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      belongs_to :dungeon
+      #    end
+      #
+      # The +traps+ association on +Dungeon+ and the +dungeon+ association on +Trap+ are
+      # the inverse of each other, and the inverse of the +dungeon+ association on +EvilWizard+
+      # is the +evil_wizard+ association on +Dungeon+ (and vice-versa). By default,
+      # Active Record can guess the inverse of the association based on the name
+      # of the class. The result is the following:
+      #
+      #    d = Dungeon.first
+      #    t = d.traps.first
+      #    d.object_id == t.dungeon.object_id # => true
+      #
+      # The +Dungeon+ instances +d+ and <tt>t.dungeon</tt> in the above example refer to
+      # the same in-memory instance since the association matches the name of the class.
+      # The result would be the same if we added +:inverse_of+ to our model definitions:
+      #
+      #    class Dungeon < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      has_many :traps, inverse_of: :dungeon
+      #      has_one :evil_wizard, inverse_of: :dungeon
+      #    end
+      #
+      #    class Trap < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      belongs_to :dungeon, inverse_of: :traps
+      #    end
+      #
+      #    class EvilWizard < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #      belongs_to :dungeon, inverse_of: :evil_wizard
+      #    end
+      #
+      # For more information, see the documentation for the +:inverse_of+ option.
+      #
+      # == Deleting from associations
+      #
+      # === Dependent associations
+      #
+      # #has_many, #has_one, and #belongs_to associations support the <tt>:dependent</tt> option.
+      # This allows you to specify that associated records should be deleted when the owner is
+      # deleted.
+      #
+      # For example:
+      #
+      #     class Author
+      #       has_many :posts, dependent: :destroy
+      #     end
+      #     Author.find(1).destroy # => Will destroy all of the author's posts, too
+      #
+      # The <tt>:dependent</tt> option can have different values which specify how the deletion
+      # is done. For more information, see the documentation for this option on the different
+      # specific association types. When no option is given, the behavior is to do nothing
+      # with the associated records when destroying a record.
+      #
+      # Note that <tt>:dependent</tt> is implemented using Rails' callback
+      # system, which works by processing callbacks in order. Therefore, other
+      # callbacks declared either before or after the <tt>:dependent</tt> option
+      # can affect what it does.
+      #
+      # Note that <tt>:dependent</tt> option is ignored for #has_one <tt>:through</tt> associations.
+      #
+      # === Delete or destroy?
+      #
+      # #has_many and #has_and_belongs_to_many associations have the methods <tt>destroy</tt>,
+      # <tt>delete</tt>, <tt>destroy_all</tt> and <tt>delete_all</tt>.
+      #
+      # For #has_and_belongs_to_many, <tt>delete</tt> and <tt>destroy</tt> are the same: they
+      # cause the records in the join table to be removed.
+      #
+      # For #has_many, <tt>destroy</tt> and <tt>destroy_all</tt> will always call the <tt>destroy</tt> method of the
+      # record(s) being removed so that callbacks are run. However <tt>delete</tt> and <tt>delete_all</tt> will either
+      # do the deletion according to the strategy specified by the <tt>:dependent</tt> option, or
+      # if no <tt>:dependent</tt> option is given, then it will follow the default strategy.
+      # The default strategy is to do nothing (leave the foreign keys with the parent ids set), except for
+      # #has_many <tt>:through</tt>, where the default strategy is <tt>delete_all</tt> (delete
+      # the join records, without running their callbacks).
+      #
+      # There is also a <tt>clear</tt> method which is the same as <tt>delete_all</tt>, except that
+      # it returns the association rather than the records which have been deleted.
+      #
+      # === What gets deleted?
+      #
+      # There is a potential pitfall here: #has_and_belongs_to_many and #has_many <tt>:through</tt>
+      # associations have records in join tables, as well as the associated records. So when we
+      # call one of these deletion methods, what exactly should be deleted?
+      #
+      # The answer is that it is assumed that deletion on an association is about removing the
+      # <i>link</i> between the owner and the associated object(s), rather than necessarily the
+      # associated objects themselves. So with #has_and_belongs_to_many and #has_many
+      # <tt>:through</tt>, the join records will be deleted, but the associated records won't.
+      #
+      # This makes sense if you think about it: if you were to call <tt>post.tags.delete(Tag.find_by(name: 'food'))</tt>
+      # you would want the 'food' tag to be unlinked from the post, rather than for the tag itself
+      # to be removed from the database.
+      #
+      # However, there are examples where this strategy doesn't make sense. For example, suppose
+      # a person has many projects, and each project has many tasks. If we deleted one of a person's
+      # tasks, we would probably not want the project to be deleted. In this scenario, the delete method
+      # won't actually work: it can only be used if the association on the join model is a
+      # #belongs_to. In other situations you are expected to perform operations directly on
+      # either the associated records or the <tt>:through</tt> association.
+      #
+      # With a regular #has_many there is no distinction between the "associated records"
+      # and the "link", so there is only one choice for what gets deleted.
+      #
+      # With #has_and_belongs_to_many and #has_many <tt>:through</tt>, if you want to delete the
+      # associated records themselves, you can always do something along the lines of
+      # <tt>person.tasks.each(&:destroy)</tt>.
+      #
+      # == Type safety with ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch
+      #
+      # If you attempt to assign an object to an association that doesn't match the inferred
+      # or specified <tt>:class_name</tt>, you'll get an ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch.
+      #
+      # == Options
+      #
+      # All of the association macros can be specialized through options. This makes cases
+      # more complex than the simple and guessable ones possible.
+      module ClassMethods
+        # Specifies a one-to-many association. The following methods for retrieval and query of
+        # collections of associated objects will be added:
+        #
+        # +collection+ is a placeholder for the symbol passed as the +name+ argument, so
+        # <tt>has_many :clients</tt> would add among others <tt>clients.empty?</tt>.
+        #
+        # [collection]
+        #   Returns a Relation of all the associated objects.
+        #   An empty Relation is returned if none are found.
+        # [collection<<(object, ...)]
+        #   Adds one or more objects to the collection by setting their foreign keys to the collection's primary key.
+        #   Note that this operation instantly fires update SQL without waiting for the save or update call on the
+        #   parent object, unless the parent object is a new record.
+        #   This will also run validations and callbacks of associated object(s).
+        # [collection.delete(object, ...)]
+        #   Removes one or more objects from the collection by setting their foreign keys to +NULL+.
+        #   Objects will be in addition destroyed if they're associated with <tt>dependent: :destroy</tt>,
+        #   and deleted if they're associated with <tt>dependent: :delete_all</tt>.
+        #
+        #   If the <tt>:through</tt> option is used, then the join records are deleted (rather than
+        #   nullified) by default, but you can specify <tt>dependent: :destroy</tt> or
+        #   <tt>dependent: :nullify</tt> to override this.
+        # [collection.destroy(object, ...)]
+        #   Removes one or more objects from the collection by running <tt>destroy</tt> on
+        #   each record, regardless of any dependent option, ensuring callbacks are run.
+        #
+        #   If the <tt>:through</tt> option is used, then the join records are destroyed
+        #   instead, not the objects themselves.
+        # [collection=objects]
+        #   Replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate. If the <tt>:through</tt>
+        #   option is true callbacks in the join models are triggered except destroy callbacks, since deletion is
+        #   direct by default. You can specify <tt>dependent: :destroy</tt> or
+        #   <tt>dependent: :nullify</tt> to override this.
+        # [collection_singular_ids]
+        #   Returns an array of the associated objects' ids
+        # [collection_singular_ids=ids]
+        #   Replace the collection with the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+. This
+        #   method loads the models and calls <tt>collection=</tt>. See above.
+        # [collection.clear]
+        #   Removes every object from the collection. This destroys the associated objects if they
+        #   are associated with <tt>dependent: :destroy</tt>, deletes them directly from the
+        #   database if <tt>dependent: :delete_all</tt>, otherwise sets their foreign keys to +NULL+.
+        #   If the <tt>:through</tt> option is true no destroy callbacks are invoked on the join models.
+        #   Join models are directly deleted.
+        # [collection.empty?]
+        #   Returns +true+ if there are no associated objects.
+        # [collection.size]
+        #   Returns the number of associated objects.
+        # [collection.find(...)]
+        #   Finds an associated object according to the same rules as ActiveRecord::FinderMethods#find.
+        # [collection.exists?(...)]
+        #   Checks whether an associated object with the given conditions exists.
+        #   Uses the same rules as ActiveRecord::FinderMethods#exists?.
+        # [collection.build(attributes = {}, ...)]
+        #   Returns one or more new objects of the collection type that have been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key, but have not yet
+        #   been saved.
+        # [collection.create(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+, linked to this object through a foreign key, and that has already
+        #   been saved (if it passed the validation). *Note*: This only works if the base model
+        #   already exists in the DB, not if it is a new (unsaved) record!
+        # [collection.create!(attributes = {})]
+        #   Does the same as <tt>collection.create</tt>, but raises ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
+        #   if the record is invalid.
+        # [collection.reload]
+        #   Returns a Relation of all of the associated objects, forcing a database read.
+        #   An empty Relation is returned if none are found.
+        #
+        # === Example
+        #
+        # A <tt>Firm</tt> class declares <tt>has_many :clients</tt>, which will add:
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.where(firm_id: id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients<<</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.delete</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.destroy</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients=</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#client_ids</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#client_ids=</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.clear</tt>
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.empty?</tt> (similar to <tt>firm.clients.size == 0</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.size</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.count "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.find</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.where(firm_id: id).find(id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.exists?(name: 'ACME')</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.exists?(name: 'ACME', firm_id: firm.id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.build</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.new(firm_id: id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.create</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Client.new(firm_id: id); c.save; c</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.create!</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Client.new(firm_id: id); c.save!</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Firm#clients.reload</tt>
+        # The declaration can also include an +options+ hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
+        #
+        # === Scopes
+        #
+        # You can pass a second argument +scope+ as a callable (i.e. proc or
+        # lambda) to retrieve a specific set of records or customize the generated
+        # query when you access the associated collection.
+        #
+        # Scope examples:
+        #   has_many :comments, -> { where(author_id: 1) }
+        #   has_many :employees, -> { joins(:address) }
+        #   has_many :posts, ->(blog) { where("max_post_length > ?", blog.max_post_length) }
+        #
+        # === Extensions
+        #
+        # The +extension+ argument allows you to pass a block into a has_many
+        # association. This is useful for adding new finders, creators and other
+        # factory-type methods to be used as part of the association.
+        #
+        # Extension examples:
+        #   has_many :employees do
+        #     def find_or_create_by_name(name)
+        #       first_name, last_name = name.split(" ", 2)
+        #       find_or_create_by(first_name: first_name, last_name: last_name)
+        #     end
+        #   end
+        #
+        # === Options
+        # [:class_name]
+        #   Specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
+        #   from the association name. So <tt>has_many :products</tt> will by default be linked
+        #   to the +Product+ class, but if the real class name is +SpecialProduct+, you'll have to
+        #   specify it with this option.
+        # [:foreign_key]
+        #   Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
+        #   of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a Person class that makes a #has_many
+        #   association will use "person_id" as the default <tt>:foreign_key</tt>.
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option.
+        # [:foreign_type]
+        #   Specify the column used to store the associated object's type, if this is a polymorphic
+        #   association. By default this is guessed to be the name of the polymorphic association
+        #   specified on "as" option with a "_type" suffix. So a class that defines a
+        #   <tt>has_many :tags, as: :taggable</tt> association will use "taggable_type" as the
+        #   default <tt>:foreign_type</tt>.
+        # [:primary_key]
+        #   Specify the name of the column to use as the primary key for the association. By default this is +id+.
+        # [:dependent]
+        #   Controls what happens to the associated objects when
+        #   their owner is destroyed. Note that these are implemented as
+        #   callbacks, and Rails executes callbacks in order. Therefore, other
+        #   similar callbacks may affect the <tt>:dependent</tt> behavior, and the
+        #   <tt>:dependent</tt> behavior may affect other callbacks.
+        #
+        #   * <tt>:destroy</tt> causes all the associated objects to also be destroyed.
+        #   * <tt>:delete_all</tt> causes all the associated objects to be deleted directly from the database (so callbacks will not be executed).
+        #   * <tt>:nullify</tt> causes the foreign keys to be set to +NULL+. Polymorphic type will also be nullified
+        #     on polymorphic associations. Callbacks are not executed.
+        #   * <tt>:restrict_with_exception</tt> causes an <tt>ActiveRecord::DeleteRestrictionError</tt> exception to be raised if there are any associated records.
+        #   * <tt>:restrict_with_error</tt> causes an error to be added to the owner if there are any associated objects.
+        #
+        #   If using with the <tt>:through</tt> option, the association on the join model must be
+        #   a #belongs_to, and the records which get deleted are the join records, rather than
+        #   the associated records.
+        #
+        #   If using <tt>dependent: :destroy</tt> on a scoped association, only the scoped objects are destroyed.
+        #   For example, if a Post model defines
+        #   <tt>has_many :comments, -> { where published: true }, dependent: :destroy</tt> and <tt>destroy</tt> is
+        #   called on a post, only published comments are destroyed. This means that any unpublished comments in the
+        #   database would still contain a foreign key pointing to the now deleted post.
+        # [:counter_cache]
+        #   This option can be used to configure a custom named <tt>:counter_cache.</tt> You only need this option,
+        #   when you customized the name of your <tt>:counter_cache</tt> on the #belongs_to association.
+        # [:as]
+        #   Specifies a polymorphic interface (See #belongs_to).
+        # [:through]
+        #   Specifies an association through which to perform the query. This can be any other type
+        #   of association, including other <tt>:through</tt> associations. Options for <tt>:class_name</tt>,
+        #   <tt>:primary_key</tt> and <tt>:foreign_key</tt> are ignored, as the association uses the
+        #   source reflection.
+        #
+        #   If the association on the join model is a #belongs_to, the collection can be modified
+        #   and the records on the <tt>:through</tt> model will be automatically created and removed
+        #   as appropriate. Otherwise, the collection is read-only, so you should manipulate the
+        #   <tt>:through</tt> association directly.
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option on the source association on the
+        #   join model. This allows associated records to be built which will automatically create
+        #   the appropriate join model records when they are saved. (See the 'Association Join Models'
+        #   section above.)
+        # [:source]
+        #   Specifies the source association name used by #has_many <tt>:through</tt> queries.
+        #   Only use it if the name cannot be inferred from the association.
+        #   <tt>has_many :subscribers, through: :subscriptions</tt> will look for either <tt>:subscribers</tt> or
+        #   <tt>:subscriber</tt> on Subscription, unless a <tt>:source</tt> is given.
+        # [:source_type]
+        #   Specifies type of the source association used by #has_many <tt>:through</tt> queries where the source
+        #   association is a polymorphic #belongs_to.
+        # [:validate]
+        #   When set to +true+, validates new objects added to association when saving the parent object. +true+ by default.
+        #   If you want to ensure associated objects are revalidated on every update, use +validates_associated+.
+        # [:autosave]
+        #   If true, always save the associated objects or destroy them if marked for destruction,
+        #   when saving the parent object. If false, never save or destroy the associated objects.
+        #   By default, only save associated objects that are new records. This option is implemented as a
+        #   +before_save+ callback. Because callbacks are run in the order they are defined, associated objects
+        #   may need to be explicitly saved in any user-defined +before_save+ callbacks.
+        #
+        #   Note that NestedAttributes::ClassMethods#accepts_nested_attributes_for sets
+        #   <tt>:autosave</tt> to <tt>true</tt>.
+        # [:inverse_of]
+        #   Specifies the name of the #belongs_to association on the associated object
+        #   that is the inverse of this #has_many association.
+        #   See ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods's overview on Bi-directional associations for more detail.
+        # [:extend]
+        #   Specifies a module or array of modules that will be extended into the association object returned.
+        #   Useful for defining methods on associations, especially when they should be shared between multiple
+        #   association objects.
+        #
+        # Option examples:
+        #   has_many :comments, -> { order("posted_on") }
+        #   has_many :comments, -> { includes(:author) }
+        #   has_many :people, -> { where(deleted: false).order("name") }, class_name: "Person"
+        #   has_many :tracks, -> { order("position") }, dependent: :destroy
+        #   has_many :comments, dependent: :nullify
+        #   has_many :tags, as: :taggable
+        #   has_many :reports, -> { readonly }
+        #   has_many :subscribers, through: :subscriptions, source: :user
+        def has_many(name, scope = nil, **options, &extension)
+          reflection = Builder::HasMany.build(self, name, scope, options, &extension)
+          Reflection.add_reflection self, name, reflection
+        end
+
+        # Specifies a one-to-one association with another class. This method should only be used
+        # if the other class contains the foreign key. If the current class contains the foreign key,
+        # then you should use #belongs_to instead. See also ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods's overview
+        # on when to use #has_one and when to use #belongs_to.
+        #
+        # The following methods for retrieval and query of a single associated object will be added:
+        #
+        # +association+ is a placeholder for the symbol passed as the +name+ argument, so
+        # <tt>has_one :manager</tt> would add among others <tt>manager.nil?</tt>.
+        #
+        # [association]
+        #   Returns the associated object. +nil+ is returned if none is found.
+        # [association=(associate)]
+        #   Assigns the associate object, extracts the primary key, sets it as the foreign key,
+        #   and saves the associate object. To avoid database inconsistencies, permanently deletes an existing
+        #   associated object when assigning a new one, even if the new one isn't saved to database.
+        # [build_association(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the associated type that has been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key, but has not
+        #   yet been saved.
+        # [create_association(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the associated type that has been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+, linked to this object through a foreign key, and that
+        #   has already been saved (if it passed the validation).
+        # [create_association!(attributes = {})]
+        #   Does the same as <tt>create_association</tt>, but raises ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
+        #   if the record is invalid.
+        # [reload_association]
+        #   Returns the associated object, forcing a database read.
+        #
+        # === Example
+        #
+        # An Account class declares <tt>has_one :beneficiary</tt>, which will add:
+        # * <tt>Account#beneficiary</tt> (similar to <tt>Beneficiary.where(account_id: id).first</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Account#beneficiary=(beneficiary)</tt> (similar to <tt>beneficiary.account_id = account.id; beneficiary.save</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Account#build_beneficiary</tt> (similar to <tt>Beneficiary.new(account_id: id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Account#create_beneficiary</tt> (similar to <tt>b = Beneficiary.new(account_id: id); b.save; b</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Account#create_beneficiary!</tt> (similar to <tt>b = Beneficiary.new(account_id: id); b.save!; b</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Account#reload_beneficiary</tt>
+        #
+        # === Scopes
+        #
+        # You can pass a second argument +scope+ as a callable (i.e. proc or
+        # lambda) to retrieve a specific record or customize the generated query
+        # when you access the associated object.
+        #
+        # Scope examples:
+        #   has_one :author, -> { where(comment_id: 1) }
+        #   has_one :employer, -> { joins(:company) }
+        #   has_one :latest_post, ->(blog) { where("created_at > ?", blog.enabled_at) }
+        #
+        # === Options
+        #
+        # The declaration can also include an +options+ hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
+        #
+        # Options are:
+        # [:class_name]
+        #   Specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
+        #   from the association name. So <tt>has_one :manager</tt> will by default be linked to the Manager class, but
+        #   if the real class name is Person, you'll have to specify it with this option.
+        # [:dependent]
+        #   Controls what happens to the associated object when
+        #   its owner is destroyed:
+        #
+        #   * <tt>:destroy</tt> causes the associated object to also be destroyed
+        #   * <tt>:delete</tt> causes the associated object to be deleted directly from the database (so callbacks will not execute)
+        #   * <tt>:nullify</tt> causes the foreign key to be set to +NULL+. Polymorphic type column is also nullified
+        #     on polymorphic associations. Callbacks are not executed.
+        #   * <tt>:restrict_with_exception</tt> causes an <tt>ActiveRecord::DeleteRestrictionError</tt> exception to be raised if there is an associated record
+        #   * <tt>:restrict_with_error</tt> causes an error to be added to the owner if there is an associated object
+        #
+        #   Note that <tt>:dependent</tt> option is ignored when using <tt>:through</tt> option.
+        # [:foreign_key]
+        #   Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
+        #   of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a Person class that makes a #has_one association
+        #   will use "person_id" as the default <tt>:foreign_key</tt>.
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option.
+        # [:foreign_type]
+        #   Specify the column used to store the associated object's type, if this is a polymorphic
+        #   association. By default this is guessed to be the name of the polymorphic association
+        #   specified on "as" option with a "_type" suffix. So a class that defines a
+        #   <tt>has_one :tag, as: :taggable</tt> association will use "taggable_type" as the
+        #   default <tt>:foreign_type</tt>.
+        # [:primary_key]
+        #   Specify the method that returns the primary key used for the association. By default this is +id+.
+        # [:as]
+        #   Specifies a polymorphic interface (See #belongs_to).
+        # [:through]
+        #   Specifies a Join Model through which to perform the query. Options for <tt>:class_name</tt>,
+        #   <tt>:primary_key</tt>, and <tt>:foreign_key</tt> are ignored, as the association uses the
+        #   source reflection. You can only use a <tt>:through</tt> query through a #has_one
+        #   or #belongs_to association on the join model.
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option.
+        # [:source]
+        #   Specifies the source association name used by #has_one <tt>:through</tt> queries.
+        #   Only use it if the name cannot be inferred from the association.
+        #   <tt>has_one :favorite, through: :favorites</tt> will look for a
+        #   <tt>:favorite</tt> on Favorite, unless a <tt>:source</tt> is given.
+        # [:source_type]
+        #   Specifies type of the source association used by #has_one <tt>:through</tt> queries where the source
+        #   association is a polymorphic #belongs_to.
+        # [:validate]
+        #   When set to +true+, validates new objects added to association when saving the parent object. +false+ by default.
+        #   If you want to ensure associated objects are revalidated on every update, use +validates_associated+.
+        # [:autosave]
+        #   If true, always save the associated object or destroy it if marked for destruction,
+        #   when saving the parent object. If false, never save or destroy the associated object.
+        #   By default, only save the associated object if it's a new record.
+        #
+        #   Note that NestedAttributes::ClassMethods#accepts_nested_attributes_for sets
+        #   <tt>:autosave</tt> to <tt>true</tt>.
+        # [:inverse_of]
+        #   Specifies the name of the #belongs_to association on the associated object
+        #   that is the inverse of this #has_one association.
+        #   See ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods's overview on Bi-directional associations for more detail.
+        # [:required]
+        #   When set to +true+, the association will also have its presence validated.
+        #   This will validate the association itself, not the id. You can use
+        #   +:inverse_of+ to avoid an extra query during validation.
+        #
+        # Option examples:
+        #   has_one :credit_card, dependent: :destroy  # destroys the associated credit card
+        #   has_one :credit_card, dependent: :nullify  # updates the associated records foreign
+        #                                                 # key value to NULL rather than destroying it
+        #   has_one :last_comment, -> { order('posted_on') }, class_name: "Comment"
+        #   has_one :project_manager, -> { where(role: 'project_manager') }, class_name: "Person"
+        #   has_one :attachment, as: :attachable
+        #   has_one :boss, -> { readonly }
+        #   has_one :club, through: :membership
+        #   has_one :primary_address, -> { where(primary: true) }, through: :addressables, source: :addressable
+        #   has_one :credit_card, required: true
+        def has_one(name, scope = nil, **options)
+          reflection = Builder::HasOne.build(self, name, scope, options)
+          Reflection.add_reflection self, name, reflection
+        end
+
+        # Specifies a one-to-one association with another class. This method should only be used

+        #   No modification or deletion of existing records takes place.
+        # [build_association(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the associated type that has been instantiated

+        # [create_association(attributes = {})]

+        # [reload_association]
+        #   Returns the associated object, forcing a database read.
+        #
+        # === Example
+        #
+        # A Post class declares <tt>belongs_to :author</tt>, which will add:
+        # * <tt>Post#author</tt> (similar to <tt>Author.find(author_id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Post#author=(author)</tt> (similar to <tt>post.author_id = author.id</tt>)

+        #   belongs_to :user, -> { joins(:friends) }
+        #   belongs_to :level, ->(game) { where("game_level > ?", game.current_level) }
+        #
+        # === Options
+        #
+        # [:class_name]
+        #   Specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
+        #   from the association name. So <tt>belongs_to :author</tt> will by default be linked to the Author class, but
+        #   if the real class name is Person, you'll have to specify it with this option.
+        # [:foreign_key]
+        #   Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
+        #   of the association with an "_id" suffix. So a class that defines a <tt>belongs_to :person</tt>
+        #   association will use "person_id" as the default <tt>:foreign_key</tt>. Similarly,
+        #   <tt>belongs_to :favorite_person, class_name: "Person"</tt> will use a foreign key
+        #   of "favorite_person_id".
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option.
+        # [:foreign_type]
+        #   Specify the column used to store the associated object's type, if this is a polymorphic
+        #   association. By default this is guessed to be the name of the association with a "_type"
+        #   suffix. So a class that defines a <tt>belongs_to :taggable, polymorphic: true</tt>
+        #   association will use "taggable_type" as the default <tt>:foreign_type</tt>.
+        # [:primary_key]
+        #   Specify the method that returns the primary key of associated object used for the association.
+        #   By default this is +id+.
+        # [:dependent]
+        #   If set to <tt>:destroy</tt>, the associated object is destroyed when this object is. If set to
+        #   <tt>:delete</tt>, the associated object is deleted *without* calling its destroy method.
+        #   This option should not be specified when #belongs_to is used in conjunction with
+        #   a #has_many relationship on another class because of the potential to leave
+        #   orphaned records behind.
+        # [:counter_cache]
+        #   Caches the number of belonging objects on the associate class through the use of CounterCache::ClassMethods#increment_counter
+        #   and CounterCache::ClassMethods#decrement_counter. The counter cache is incremented when an object of this
+        #   class is created and decremented when it's destroyed. This requires that a column
+        #   named <tt>#{table_name}_count</tt> (such as +comments_count+ for a belonging Comment class)
+        #   is used on the associate class (such as a Post class) - that is the migration for
+        #   <tt>#{table_name}_count</tt> is created on the associate class (such that <tt>Post.comments_count</tt> will
+        #   return the count cached, see note below). You can also specify a custom counter
+        #   cache column by providing a column name instead of a +true+/+false+ value to this
+        #   option (e.g., <tt>counter_cache: :my_custom_counter</tt>.)
+        #   Note: Specifying a counter cache will add it to that model's list of readonly attributes
+        #   using +attr_readonly+.
+        # [:polymorphic]
+        #   Specify this association is a polymorphic association by passing +true+.
+        #   Note: If you've enabled the counter cache, then you may want to add the counter cache attribute
+        #   to the +attr_readonly+ list in the associated classes (e.g. <tt>class Post; attr_readonly :comments_count; end</tt>).
+        # [:validate]
+        #   When set to +true+, validates new objects added to association when saving the parent object. +false+ by default.
+        #   If you want to ensure associated objects are revalidated on every update, use +validates_associated+.
+        # [:autosave]
+        #   If true, always save the associated object or destroy it if marked for destruction, when
+        #   saving the parent object.
+        #   If false, never save or destroy the associated object.
+        #   By default, only save the associated object if it's a new record.
+        #
+        #   Note that NestedAttributes::ClassMethods#accepts_nested_attributes_for
+        #   sets <tt>:autosave</tt> to <tt>true</tt>.
+        # [:touch]
+        #   If true, the associated object will be touched (the updated_at/on attributes set to current time)
+        #   when this record is either saved or destroyed. If you specify a symbol, that attribute
+        #   will be updated with the current time in addition to the updated_at/on attribute.
+        #   Please note that with touching no validation is performed and only the +after_touch+,
+        #   +after_commit+ and +after_rollback+ callbacks are executed.
+        # [:inverse_of]
+        #   Specifies the name of the #has_one or #has_many association on the associated
+        #   object that is the inverse of this #belongs_to association.
+        #   See ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods's overview on Bi-directional associations for more detail.
+        # [:optional]
+        #   When set to +true+, the association will not have its presence validated.
+        # [:required]
+        #   When set to +true+, the association will also have its presence validated.
+        #   This will validate the association itself, not the id. You can use
+        #   +:inverse_of+ to avoid an extra query during validation.
+        #   NOTE: <tt>required</tt> is set to <tt>true</tt> by default and is deprecated. If
+        #   you don't want to have association presence validated, use <tt>optional: true</tt>.
+        # [:default]
+        #   Provide a callable (i.e. proc or lambda) to specify that the association should
+        #   be initialized with a particular record before validation.
+        #
+        # Option examples:
+        #   belongs_to :firm, foreign_key: "client_of"
+        #   belongs_to :person, primary_key: "name", foreign_key: "person_name"
+        #   belongs_to :author, class_name: "Person", foreign_key: "author_id"

+        #   belongs_to :comment, touch: true
+        #   belongs_to :company, touch: :employees_last_updated_at
+        #   belongs_to :user, optional: true

+
+        # Specifies a many-to-many relationship with another class. This associates two classes via an
+        # intermediate join table. Unless the join table is explicitly specified as an option, it is
+        # guessed using the lexical order of the class names. So a join between Developer and Project
+        # will give the default join table name of "developers_projects" because "D" precedes "P" alphabetically.
+        # Note that this precedence is calculated using the <tt><</tt> operator for String. This
+        # means that if the strings are of different lengths, and the strings are equal when compared
+        # up to the shortest length, then the longer string is considered of higher
+        # lexical precedence than the shorter one. For example, one would expect the tables "paper_boxes" and "papers"
+        # to generate a join table name of "papers_paper_boxes" because of the length of the name "paper_boxes",
+        # but it in fact generates a join table name of "paper_boxes_papers". Be aware of this caveat, and use the
+        # custom <tt>:join_table</tt> option if you need to.
+        # If your tables share a common prefix, it will only appear once at the beginning. For example,
+        # the tables "catalog_categories" and "catalog_products" generate a join table name of "catalog_categories_products".
+        #
+        # The join table should not have a primary key or a model associated with it. You must manually generate the
+        # join table with a migration such as this:
+        #
+        #   class CreateDevelopersProjectsJoinTable < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
+        #     def change
+        #       create_join_table :developers, :projects
+        #     end
+        #   end
+        #
+        # It's also a good idea to add indexes to each of those columns to speed up the joins process.
+        # However, in MySQL it is advised to add a compound index for both of the columns as MySQL only
+        # uses one index per table during the lookup.
+        #
+        # Adds the following methods for retrieval and query:
+        #
+        # +collection+ is a placeholder for the symbol passed as the +name+ argument, so
+        # <tt>has_and_belongs_to_many :categories</tt> would add among others <tt>categories.empty?</tt>.
+        #
+        # [collection]
+        #   Returns a Relation of all the associated objects.
+        #   An empty Relation is returned if none are found.
+        # [collection<<(object, ...)]
+        #   Adds one or more objects to the collection by creating associations in the join table
+        #   (<tt>collection.push</tt> and <tt>collection.concat</tt> are aliases to this method).
+        #   Note that this operation instantly fires update SQL without waiting for the save or update call on the
+        #   parent object, unless the parent object is a new record.
+        # [collection.delete(object, ...)]
+        #   Removes one or more objects from the collection by removing their associations from the join table.
+        #   This does not destroy the objects.
+        # [collection.destroy(object, ...)]
+        #   Removes one or more objects from the collection by running destroy on each association in the join table, overriding any dependent option.
+        #   This does not destroy the objects.
+        # [collection=objects]
+        #   Replaces the collection's content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.
+        # [collection_singular_ids]
+        #   Returns an array of the associated objects' ids.
+        # [collection_singular_ids=ids]
+        #   Replace the collection by the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+.
+        # [collection.clear]
+        #   Removes every object from the collection. This does not destroy the objects.
+        # [collection.empty?]
+        #   Returns +true+ if there are no associated objects.
+        # [collection.size]
+        #   Returns the number of associated objects.
+        # [collection.find(id)]
+        #   Finds an associated object responding to the +id+ and that
+        #   meets the condition that it has to be associated with this object.
+        #   Uses the same rules as ActiveRecord::FinderMethods#find.
+        # [collection.exists?(...)]
+        #   Checks whether an associated object with the given conditions exists.
+        #   Uses the same rules as ActiveRecord::FinderMethods#exists?.
+        # [collection.build(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+ and linked to this object through the join table, but has not yet been saved.
+        # [collection.create(attributes = {})]
+        #   Returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
+        #   with +attributes+, linked to this object through the join table, and that has already been
+        #   saved (if it passed the validation).
+        # [collection.reload]
+        #   Returns a Relation of all of the associated objects, forcing a database read.
+        #   An empty Relation is returned if none are found.
+        #
+        # === Example
+        #
+        # A Developer class declares <tt>has_and_belongs_to_many :projects</tt>, which will add:
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects<<</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.delete</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.destroy</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects=</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#project_ids</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#project_ids=</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.clear</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.empty?</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.size</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.find(id)</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.exists?(...)</tt>
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.build</tt> (similar to <tt>Project.new(developer_id: id)</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.create</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Project.new(developer_id: id); c.save; c</tt>)
+        # * <tt>Developer#projects.reload</tt>
+        # The declaration may include an +options+ hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
+        #
+        # === Scopes
+        #
+        # You can pass a second argument +scope+ as a callable (i.e. proc or
+        # lambda) to retrieve a specific set of records or customize the generated
+        # query when you access the associated collection.
+        #
+        # Scope examples:
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :projects, -> { includes(:milestones, :manager) }
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, ->(post) {
+        #     where("default_category = ?", post.default_category)
+        #   }
+        #
+        # === Extensions
+        #
+        # The +extension+ argument allows you to pass a block into a
+        # has_and_belongs_to_many association. This is useful for adding new
+        # finders, creators and other factory-type methods to be used as part of
+        # the association.
+        #
+        # Extension examples:
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :contractors do
+        #     def find_or_create_by_name(name)
+        #       first_name, last_name = name.split(" ", 2)
+        #       find_or_create_by(first_name: first_name, last_name: last_name)
+        #     end
+        #   end
+        #
+        # === Options
+        #
+        # [:class_name]
+        #   Specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
+        #   from the association name. So <tt>has_and_belongs_to_many :projects</tt> will by default be linked to the
+        #   Project class, but if the real class name is SuperProject, you'll have to specify it with this option.
+        # [:join_table]
+        #   Specify the name of the join table if the default based on lexical order isn't what you want.
+        #   <b>WARNING:</b> If you're overwriting the table name of either class, the +table_name+ method
+        #   MUST be declared underneath any #has_and_belongs_to_many declaration in order to work.
+        # [:foreign_key]
+        #   Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
+        #   of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a Person class that makes
+        #   a #has_and_belongs_to_many association to Project will use "person_id" as the
+        #   default <tt>:foreign_key</tt>.
+        #
+        #   If you are going to modify the association (rather than just read from it), then it is
+        #   a good idea to set the <tt>:inverse_of</tt> option.
+        # [:association_foreign_key]
+        #   Specify the foreign key used for the association on the receiving side of the association.
+        #   By default this is guessed to be the name of the associated class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed.
+        #   So if a Person class makes a #has_and_belongs_to_many association to Project,
+        #   the association will use "project_id" as the default <tt>:association_foreign_key</tt>.
+        # [:validate]
+        #   When set to +true+, validates new objects added to association when saving the parent object. +true+ by default.
+        #   If you want to ensure associated objects are revalidated on every update, use +validates_associated+.
+        # [:autosave]
+        #   If true, always save the associated objects or destroy them if marked for destruction, when
+        #   saving the parent object.
+        #   If false, never save or destroy the associated objects.
+        #   By default, only save associated objects that are new records.
+        #
+        #   Note that NestedAttributes::ClassMethods#accepts_nested_attributes_for sets
+        #   <tt>:autosave</tt> to <tt>true</tt>.
+        #
+        # Option examples:
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :projects
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :projects, -> { includes(:milestones, :manager) }
+        #   has_and_belongs_to_many :nations, class_name: "Country"
