-      # using the ActiveRecord::Calculations class methods. Look into those before using this.
-      #
-      # ==== Parameters
-      #
-      # * +sql+ - An SQL statement which should return a count query from the database, see the example below.
-      #
-      # ==== Examples
-      #
-      #   Product.count_by_sql "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sales s, customers c WHERE s.customer_id = c.id"
-      def count_by_sql(sql)

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

-      # Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the

-      # looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord::Base, then Message is used
-      # to guess the table name even when called on Reply. The rules used to do the guess

-      # Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of

-      # Additionally, the class-level +table_name_prefix+ is prepended and the
