-    # Associations are a set of macro-like class methods for tying objects together through foreign keys. They express relationships like
-    # "Project has one Project Manager" or "Project belongs to a Portfolio". Each macro adds a number of methods to the class which are
-    # specialized according to the collection or association symbol and the options hash. It works much the same way as Ruby's own <tt>attr*</tt>
-    # methods. Example:
-    #
-    #   class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     belongs_to              :portfolio
-    #     has_one                 :project_manager
-    #     has_many                :milestones
-    #     has_and_belongs_to_many :categories
-    #   end
-    #
-    # The project class now has the following methods (and more) to ease the traversal and manipulation of its relationships:
-    # * <tt>Project#portfolio, Project#portfolio=(portfolio), Project#portfolio.nil?</tt>
-    # * <tt>Project#project_manager, Project#project_manager=(project_manager), Project#project_manager.nil?,</tt>
-    # * <tt>Project#milestones.empty?, Project#milestones.size, Project#milestones, Project#milestones<<(milestone),</tt>
-    #   <tt>Project#milestones.delete(milestone), Project#milestones.find(milestone_id), Project#milestones.find(:all, options),</tt>
-    #   <tt>Project#milestones.build, Project#milestones.create</tt>
-    # * <tt>Project#categories.empty?, Project#categories.size, Project#categories, Project#categories<<(category1),</tt>
-    #   <tt>Project#categories.delete(category1)</tt>

-    # === A word of warning
-    #
-    # Don't create associations that have the same name as instance methods of ActiveRecord::Base. Since the association
-    # adds a method with that name to its model, it will override the inherited method and break things.
-    # For instance, +attributes+ and +connection+ would be bad choices for association names.

-    #
-    # == 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 <tt>has_many :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. Example:
-    #
-    #   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 int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
-    #     account_id int(11) default NULL,
-    #     name varchar default NULL,
-    #     PRIMARY KEY  (id)
-    #   )
-    #
-    #   CREATE TABLE accounts (
-    #     id int(11) 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.
-    #
-    # === 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 primary 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) the assignment statement returns +false+ and the assignment
-    #   is cancelled.
-    # * If you wish to assign an object to a +has_one+ association without saving it, use the <tt>association.build</tt> method (documented below).
-    # * 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+.
-    # * 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.
-    #
-    # === Association callbacks
-    #
-    # Similar to the normal callbacks that hook into the lifecycle 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. Example:
-    #
-    #   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+.
-    #
-    # Should any of the +before_add+ callbacks throw an exception, the object does not get added to the collection. Same with
-    # the +before_remove+ callbacks; if an exception is thrown the object doesn't get removed.
-    #
-    # === 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.
-    # Example:
-    #
-    #   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_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
-    #       end
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    #   person = Account.find(: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. Example:
-    #
-    #   module FindOrCreateByNameExtension
-    #     def find_or_create_by_name(name)
-    #       first_name, last_name = name.split(" ", 2)
-    #       find_or_create_by_first_name_and_last_name(first_name, last_name)
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    #   class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     has_many :people, :extend => FindOrCreateByNameExtension
-    #   end
-    #
-    #   class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     has_many :people, :extend => FindOrCreateByNameExtension
-    #   end
-    #
-    # If you need to use multiple named extension modules, you can specify an array of modules with the <tt>:extend</tt> option.
-    # In the case of name conflicts between methods in the modules, methods in modules later in the array supercede
-    # those earlier in the array. Example:
-    #
-    #   class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     has_many :people, :extend => [FindOrCreateByNameExtension, FindRecentExtension]
-    #   end
-    #
-    # Some extensions can only be made to work with knowledge of the association proxy's internals.
-    # Extensions can access relevant state using accessors on the association proxy:
-    #
-    # * +proxy_owner+ - Returns the object the association is part of.
-    # * +proxy_reflection+ - Returns the reflection object that describes the association.
-    # * +proxy_target+ - 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+.
-    #
-    # === 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.find :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.find :first
-    #   @firm.clients.collect { |c| c.invoices }.flatten # select all invoices for all clients of the firm
-    #   @firm.invoices                                   # selects all invoices by going through the Client join model.
-    #
-    # === 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.
-    #
-    #   class Asset < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true
-    #
-    #     def attachable_type=(sType)
-    #        super(sType.to_s.classify.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. Example:
-    #
-    #   project.milestones             # fetches milestones from the database
-    #   project.milestones.size        # uses the milestone cache
-    #   project.milestones.empty?      # uses the milestone cache
-    #   project.milestones(true).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. This is
-    # one of the easiest ways of to prevent the dreaded 1+N problem in which fetching 100 posts that each need to display their author
-    # triggers 101 database queries. Through the use of eager loading, the 101 queries can be reduced to 2. Example:
-    #
-    #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     belongs_to :author
-    #     has_many   :comments
-    #   end
-    #
-    # Consider the following loop using the class above:
-    #
-    #   for post in Post.all
-    #     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:
-    #
-    #   for post in Post.find(:all, :include => :author)
-    #
-    # 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 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:
-    #
-    #   for post in Post.find(:all, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
-    #
-    # This will load all comments with a single query. This reduces the total number of queries to 3. More generally 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:
-    #
-    #   for post in Post.find(:all, :include => [ :author, { :comments => { :author => :gravatar } } ])
-    #
-    # That'll grab not only all the comments but all their authors and gravatar pictures.  You can mix and match
-    # symbols, arrays and hashes in any combination to describe 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 LEFT OUTER JOIN based strategy. For example
-    #  
-    #   Post.find(:all, :include => [ :author, :comments ], :conditions => ['comments.approved = ?', true])
-    #
-    # 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 do want eagerload only some members of an association it is usually more natural to <tt>:include</tt> an association
-    # which has conditions defined on it:
-    #
-    #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
-    #     has_many :approved_comments, :class_name => 'Comment', :conditions => ['approved = ?', true]
-    #   end
-    #
-    #   Post.find(:all, :include => :approved_comments)
-    #
-    # will load posts and eager load the +approved_comments+ association, which contains only those comments that have been approved.
-    #
-    # When eager loaded, conditions are interpolated in the context of the model class, not the model instance.  Conditions are lazily interpolated
-    # before the actual model exists.
-    #
-    # 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.find(:all, :include => :addressable)
-    #
-    # 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.find :all, :joins => :comments
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments ON ...
-    #   Post.find :all, :joins => :special_comments # STI
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments ON ... AND comments.type = 'SpecialComment'
-    #   Post.find :all, :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.find :all, :joins => :children
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
-    #   TreeMixin.find :all, :joins => {:children => :parent}
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins INNER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
-    #                               INNER JOIN parents_mixins ...
-    #   TreeMixin.find :all, :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.find :all, :joins => :categories
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN categories_posts ... INNER JOIN categories ...
-    #   Post.find :all, :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.find :all, :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 a <tt>:joins</tt> option, those table names will take precedence over the eager associations:
-    #
-    #   Post.find :all, :joins => :comments, :joins => "inner join comments ..."
-    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts INNER JOIN comments_posts ON ... INNER JOIN comments ...
-    #   Post.find :all, :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 Company < ActiveRecord::Base; end
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    # When Firm#clients is called, it will in turn call <tt>MyApplication::Business::Company.find(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.  Example:
-    #
-    #   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
-    #
-    # == Type safety with <tt>ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch</tt>
-    #
-    # 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 <tt>ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch</tt>.
-    #
-    # == 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
-      # Adds the following methods for retrieval and query of collections of associated objects:
-      # +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
-      # <tt>has_many :clients</tt> would add among others <tt>clients.empty?</tt>.
-      # * <tt>collection(force_reload = false)</tt> - Returns an array of all the associated objects.
-      #   An empty array is returned if none are found.
-      # * <tt>collection<<(object, ...)</tt> - Adds one or more objects to the collection by setting their foreign keys to the collection's primary key.
-      # * <tt>collection.delete(object, ...)</tt> - Removes one or more objects from the collection by setting their foreign keys to +NULL+.
-      #   This will also destroy the objects if they're declared as +belongs_to+ and dependent on this model.
-      # * <tt>collection=objects</tt> - Replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.
-      # * <tt>collection_singular_ids</tt> - Returns an array of the associated objects' ids
-      # * <tt>collection_singular_ids=ids</tt> - Replace the collection with the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+
-      # * <tt>collection.clear</tt> - 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+.
-      # * <tt>collection.empty?</tt> - Returns +true+ if there are no associated objects.
-      # * <tt>collection.size</tt> - Returns the number of associated objects.
-      # * <tt>collection.find</tt> - Finds an associated object according to the same rules as Base.find.
-      # * <tt>collection.build(attributes = {}, ...)</tt> - 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. *Note:* This only works if an
-      #   associated object already exists, not if it's +nil+!
-      # * <tt>collection.create(attributes = {})</tt> - 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 an associated object already exists, not if it's +nil+!
-      #
-      # Example: A Firm class declares <tt>has_many :clients</tt>, which will add:
-      # * <tt>Firm#clients</tt> (similar to <tt>Clients.find :all, :conditions => "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
-      # * <tt>Firm#clients<<</tt>
-      # * <tt>Firm#clients.delete</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.find(id, :conditions => "firm_id = #{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>)
-      # The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
-      #
-      # Options are:
-      # * <tt>:class_name</tt> - 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.
-      # * <tt>:conditions</tt> - Specify the conditions that the associated objects must meet in order to be included as a +WHERE+
-      #   SQL fragment, such as <tt>price > 5 AND name LIKE 'B%'</tt>.  Record creations from the association are scoped if a hash
-      #   is used.  <tt>has_many :posts, :conditions => {:published => true}</tt> will create published posts with <tt>@blog.posts.create</tt>
-      #   or <tt>@blog.posts.build</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:order</tt> - Specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as an <tt>ORDER BY</tt> SQL fragment,
-      #   such as <tt>last_name, first_name DESC</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - 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>.
-      # * <tt>:dependent</tt> - If set to <tt>:destroy</tt> all the associated objects are destroyed
-      #   alongside this object by calling their +destroy+ method.  If set to <tt>:delete_all</tt> all associated
-      #   objects are deleted *without* calling their +destroy+ method.  If set to <tt>:nullify</tt> all associated
-      #   objects' foreign keys are set to +NULL+ *without* calling their +save+ callbacks. *Warning:* This option is ignored when also using
-      #   the <tt>:through</tt> option.
-      # * <tt>:finder_sql</tt> - Specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the association. This is a good way to go for complex
-      #   associations that depend on multiple tables. Note: When this option is used, +find_in_collection+ is _not_ added.
-      # * <tt>:counter_sql</tt> - Specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the size of the association. If <tt>:finder_sql</tt> is
-      #   specified but not <tt>:counter_sql</tt>, <tt>:counter_sql</tt> will be generated by replacing <tt>SELECT ... FROM</tt> with <tt>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:extend</tt> - Specify a named module for extending the proxy. See "Association extensions".
-      # * <tt>:include</tt> - Specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when the collection is loaded.
-      # * <tt>:group</tt> - An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the <tt>GROUP BY</tt> SQL-clause.
-      # * <tt>:limit</tt> - An integer determining the limit on the number of rows that should be returned.
-      # * <tt>:offset</tt> - An integer determining the offset from where the rows should be fetched. So at 5, it would skip the first 4 rows.
-      # * <tt>:select</tt> - By default, this is <tt>*</tt> as in <tt>SELECT * FROM</tt>, but can be changed if you, for example, want to do a join
-      #   but not include the joined columns. Do not forget to include the primary and foreign keys, otherwise it will rise an error.
-      # * <tt>:as</tt> - Specifies a polymorphic interface (See <tt>belongs_to</tt>).
-      # * <tt>:through</tt> - Specifies a Join Model through which to perform the query.  Options for <tt>:class_name</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 <tt>belongs_to</tt>
-      #   or <tt>has_many</tt> association on the join model.
-      # * <tt>:source</tt> - Specifies the source association name used by <tt>has_many :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.
-      # * <tt>:source_type</tt> - Specifies type of the source association used by <tt>has_many :through</tt> queries where the source
-      #   association is a polymorphic +belongs_to+.
-      # * <tt>:uniq</tt> - If true, duplicates will be omitted from the collection. Useful in conjunction with <tt>:through</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:readonly</tt> - If true, all the associated objects are readonly through the association.
-      #
-      # Option examples:
-      #   has_many :comments, :order => "posted_on"
-      #   has_many :comments, :include => :author

-      # Adds the following methods for retrieval and query of a single associated object:
-      # +association+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
-      # <tt>has_one :manager</tt> would add among others <tt>manager.nil?</tt>.
-      # * <tt>association(force_reload = false)</tt> - Returns the associated object. +nil+ is returned if none is found.
-      # * <tt>association=(associate)</tt> - Assigns the associate object, extracts the primary key, sets it as the foreign key,
-      #   and saves the associate object.
-      # * <tt>association.nil?</tt> - Returns +true+ if there is no associated object.
-      # * <tt>build_association(attributes = {})</tt> - 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. Note: This ONLY works if
-      #   an association already exists. It will NOT work if the association is +nil+.
-      # * <tt>create_association(attributes = {})</tt> - 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).
-      #
-      # Example: An Account class declares <tt>has_one :beneficiary</tt>, which will add:

-      #
-      # The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
-      #
-      # Options are:
-      # * <tt>:class_name</tt> - 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.
-      # * <tt>:conditions</tt> - Specify the conditions that the associated object must meet in order to be included as a +WHERE+
-      #   SQL fragment, such as <tt>rank = 5</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:order</tt> - Specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as an <tt>ORDER BY</tt> SQL fragment,
-      #   such as <tt>last_name, first_name DESC</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:dependent</tt> - 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. If set to <tt>:nullify</tt>, the associated
-      #   object's foreign key is set to +NULL+. Also, association is assigned.
-      # * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - 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>.
-      # * <tt>:include</tt> - Specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when this object is loaded.
-      # * <tt>:as</tt> - Specifies a polymorphic interface (See <tt>belongs_to</tt>).
-      # * <tt>:select</tt> - By default, this is <tt>*</tt> as in <tt>SELECT * FROM</tt>, but can be changed if, for example, you want to do a join
-      #   but not include the joined columns. Do not forget to include the primary and foreign keys, otherwise it will raise an error.
-      # * <tt>:through</tt>: Specifies a Join Model through which to perform the query.  Options for <tt>:class_name</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 
-      #   <tt>has_one</tt> or <tt>belongs_to</tt> association on the join model.
-      # * <tt>:source</tt> - Specifies the source association name used by <tt>has_one :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.      
-      # * <tt>:source_type</tt> - Specifies type of the source association used by <tt>has_one :through</tt> queries where the source
-      #   association is a polymorphic +belongs_to+.      
-      # * <tt>:readonly</tt> - If true, the associated object is readonly through the association.
-      #
-      # 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

-      # <tt>belongs_to :author</tt> would add among others <tt>author.nil?</tt>.
-      # * <tt>association(force_reload = false)</tt> - Returns the associated object. +nil+ is returned if none is found.
-      # * <tt>association=(associate)</tt> - Assigns the associate object, extracts the primary key, and sets it as the foreign key.
-      # * <tt>association.nil?</tt> - Returns +true+ if there is no associated object.
-      # * <tt>build_association(attributes = {})</tt> - 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.
-      # * <tt>create_association(attributes = {})</tt> - 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).
-      #
-      # 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>)
-      # * <tt>Post#author?</tt> (similar to <tt>post.author == some_author</tt>)

-      # The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
-      #
-      # Options are:

-      #   if the real class name is Person, you'll have to specify it with this option.

-      #   but not include the joined columns. Do not forget to include the primary and foreign keys, otherwise it will raise an error.
-      # * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - 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".
-      # * <tt>:dependent</tt> - 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
-      #   <tt>belongs_to</tt> is used in conjunction with a <tt>has_many</tt> relationship on another class because of the potential to leave
-      #   orphaned records behind.
-      # * <tt>:counter_cache</tt> - Caches the number of belonging objects on the associate class through the use of +increment_counter+
-      #   and +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). 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>.)
-      #   When creating a counter cache column, the database statement or migration must specify a default value of <tt>0</tt>, failing to do 
-      #   this results in a counter with +NULL+ value, which will never increment.
-      #   Note: Specifying a counter cache will add it to that model's list of readonly attributes using +attr_readonly+.
-      # * <tt>:include</tt> - Specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when this object is loaded.
-      # * <tt>:polymorphic</tt> - 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>).
-      # * <tt>:readonly</tt> - If true, the associated object is readonly through the association.
-      #
-      # Option examples:
-      #   belongs_to :firm, :foreign_key => "client_of"

-      # Associates two classes via an intermediate join table.  Unless the join table is explicitly specified as

-      # 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"

-      # * <tt>:join_table</tt> - Specify the name of the join table if the default based on lexical order isn't what you want.
-      #   WARNING: 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.
-      # * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name

-      #   the +has_and_belongs_to_many+ association will use "project_id" as the default <tt>:association_foreign_key</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:conditions</tt> - Specify the conditions that the associated object must meet in order to be included as a +WHERE+
-      #   SQL fragment, such as <tt>authorized = 1</tt>.  Record creations from the association are scoped if a hash is used.  
-      #   <tt>has_many :posts, :conditions => {:published => true}</tt> will create published posts with <tt>@blog.posts.create</tt> 
-      #   or <tt>@blog.posts.build</tt>.
-      # * <tt>:order</tt> - Specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as an <tt>ORDER BY</tt> SQL fragment,
-      #   such as <tt>last_name, first_name DESC</tt>
-      # * <tt>:uniq</tt> - If true, duplicate associated objects will be ignored by accessors and query methods.
-      # * <tt>:finder_sql</tt> - Overwrite the default generated SQL statement used to fetch the association with a manual statement
-      # * <tt>:delete_sql</tt> - Overwrite the default generated SQL statement used to remove links between the associated
-      #   classes with a manual statement.

-      # * <tt>:extend</tt> - Anonymous module for extending the proxy, see "Association extensions".
-      # * <tt>:include</tt> - Specify second-order associations that should be eager loaded when the collection is loaded.
-      # * <tt>:group</tt> - An attribute name by which the result should be grouped. Uses the <tt>GROUP BY</tt> SQL-clause.
-      # * <tt>:limit</tt> - An integer determining the limit on the number of rows that should be returned.
-      # * <tt>:offset</tt> - An integer determining the offset from where the rows should be fetched. So at 5, it would skip the first 4 rows.
-      # * <tt>:select</tt> - By default, this is <tt>*</tt> as in <tt>SELECT * FROM</tt>, but can be changed if, for example, you want to do a join
