-      #   invoice.rb            Invoice             invoices
-      #
-      #   class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
-      #     class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base

-      #
-      #   file                  class               table_name
-      #   invoice.rb            Invoice::Lineitem   invoice_lineitems

-      #
-      # Additionally, the class-level +table_name_prefix+ is prepended and the
-      # +table_name_suffix+ is appended. So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix,
