+    # 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 attr*
+    # methods. Example:
+    #
+    #   class Project < BigRecord::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>
+    #
+    # == Example
+    #
+    # link:files/examples/associations.png
+    #
+    # == Is it belongs_to or has_one?
+    #
+    # Both express a 1-1 relationship, the difference is mostly where to place the foreign key, which goes on the table for the class
+    # saying belongs_to. Example:
+    #
+    #   class User < BigRecord::Base
+    #     # I reference an account.
+    #     belongs_to :account
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Account < BigRecord::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 behaviour 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 (new_record? == true).
+    # * 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 #association.build 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 #push or similar) fails, then #push returns false.
+    # * You can add an object to a collection without automatically saving it by using the #collection.build method (documented below).
+    # * All unsaved (new_record? == true) members of the collection are automatically saved when the parent is saved.
+    #
+    # === Association callbacks
+    #
+    # Similiar to the normal callbacks that hook into the lifecycle of an Active Record object, you can also define callbacks that get
+    # trigged when you add an object to or removing an object from a 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 controls 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 < BigRecord::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 < BigRecord::Base
+    #     has_many :people, :extend => FindOrCreateByNameExtension
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Company < BigRecord::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 :extend 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 < BigRecord::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 :through option to use an explicit join model to retrieve the data.  This
+    # operates similarly to a <tt>has_and_belongs_to_many</tt> 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 < BigRecord::Base
+    #     has_many :authorships
+    #     has_many :books, :through => :authorships
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Authorship < BigRecord::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 < BigRecord::Base
+    #     has_many   :clients
+    #     has_many   :invoices, :through => :clients
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Client < BigRecord::Base
+    #     belongs_to :firm
+    #     has_many   :invoices
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Invoice < BigRecord::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 < BigRecord::Base
+    #     belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Post < BigRecord::Base
+    #     has_many :assets, :as => :attachable         # The <tt>:as</tt> 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. So there will be an additional 'type' column in the posts table.
+    #
+    #   class Asset < BigRecord::Base
+    #     belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true
+    #
+    #     def attachable_type=(sType)
+    #        super(sType.to_s.classify.constantize.base_class.to_s)
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class Post < BigRecord::Base
+    #     # because we store "Post" in attachable_type now :dependent => :destroy will work
+    #     has_many :assets, :as => :attachable, :dependent => :destroy
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class GuestPost < BigRecord::Base
+    #   end
+    #
+    #   class MemberPost < BigRecord::Base
+    #   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 along with it in a single SQL call. This is
+    # one of the easiest ways of to prevent the dreaded 1+N problem in which fetching 100 posts that each needs to display their author
+    # triggers 101 database queries. Through the use of eager loading, the 101 queries can be reduced to 1. Example:
+    #
+    #   class Post < BigRecord::Base
+    #     belongs_to :author
+    #     has_many   :comments
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Consider the following loop using the class above:
+    #
+    #   for post in Post.find(: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 :author symbol, so the find will now weave in a join something
+    # like this: LEFT OUTER JOIN authors ON authors.id = posts.author_id. Doing so will cut down the number of queries from 201 to 101.
+    #
+    # We can improve upon the situation further by referencing both associations in the finder with:
+    #
+    #   for post in Post.find(:all, :include => [ :author, :comments ])
+    #
+    # That'll add another join along the lines of: LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = posts.id. And we'll be down to 1 query.
+    # But that shouldn't fool you to think 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 the eager loading pulls from multiple tables, you'll have to disambiguate any column references in both conditions and orders. So
+    # :order => "posts.id DESC" will work while :order => "id DESC" will not. Because eager loading generates the SELECT statement too, the
+    # :select option is ignored.
+    #
+    # You can use eager loading on multiple associations from the same table, but you cannot use those associations in orders and conditions
+    # as there is currently not any way to disambiguate them. Eager loading will not pull additional attributes on join tables, so "rich
+    # associations" with has_and_belongs_to_many are not a good fit for eager loading.
+    #
+    # 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.
+    #
+    # == Table Aliasing
+    #
+    # BigRecord 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 #{reflection_name}_#{parent_table_name}.  Indexes are appended
+    # for any more successive uses of the table name.
+    #
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => :comments
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON ...
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => :special_comments # STI
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON ... AND comments.type = 'SpecialComment'
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => [:comments, :special_comments] # special_comments is the reflection name, posts is the parent table name
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN comments ON ... LEFT OUTER JOIN comments special_comments_posts
+    #
+    # Acts as tree example:
+    #
+    #   TreeMixin.find :all, :include => :children
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins LEFT OUTER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+    #   TreeMixin.find :all, :include => {:children => :parent} # using cascading eager includes
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins LEFT OUTER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+    #                               LEFT OUTER JOIN parents_mixins ...
+    #   TreeMixin.find :all, :include => {:children => {:parent => :children}}
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM mixins LEFT OUTER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins ...
+    #                               LEFT OUTER JOIN parents_mixins ...
+    # LEFT OUTER JOIN mixins childrens_mixins_2
+    #
+    # Has and Belongs to Many join tables use the same idea, but add a _join suffix:
+    #
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => :categories
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts ... LEFT OUTER JOIN categories ...
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => {:categories => :posts}
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts ... LEFT OUTER JOIN categories ...
+    #                              LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts posts_categories_join LEFT OUTER JOIN posts posts_categories
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => {:categories => {:posts => :categories}}
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts ... LEFT OUTER JOIN categories ...
+    #                              LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts posts_categories_join LEFT OUTER JOIN posts posts_categories
+    #                              LEFT OUTER JOIN categories_posts categories_posts_join LEFT OUTER JOIN categories categories_posts
+    #
+    # If you wish to specify your own custom joins using a :joins option, those table names will take precedence over the eager associations..
+    #
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => :comments, :joins => "inner join comments ..."
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN comments_posts ON ... INNER JOIN comments ...
+    #   Post.find :all, :include => [:comments, :special_comments], :joins => "inner join comments ..."
+    #   # => SELECT ... FROM posts LEFT OUTER JOIN comments comments_posts ON ...
+    #                              LEFT OUTER 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 < BigRecord::Base
+    #          has_many :clients
+    #        end
+    #
+    #       class Company < BigRecord::Base; end
+    #     end

+    # == Type safety with BigRecord::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

+    # == Options
+    #
+    # All of the association macros can be specialized through options which makes more complex cases 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 by 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 <tt>:dependent</tt>, deletes them directly from the database if they are <tt>:dependent => :delete_all</tt>,
+      #   and sets their foreign keys to NULL otherwise.
+      # * <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 a new object of the collection 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
+      #   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+ and 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 "price > 5 AND name LIKE 'B%'".
+      # * <tt>:order</tt>       - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment,
+      #   such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
+      # * <tt>:group</tt>       - specify the attribute by which the associated objects are returned as a "GROUP BY" sql fragment,
+      #   such as "category"
+      # * <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 foreign_key.
+      # * <tt>:dependent</tt>   - if set to :destroy all the associated objects are destroyed
+      #   alongside this object by calling their destroy method.  If set to :delete_all all associated
+      #   objects are deleted *without* calling their destroy method.  If set to :nullify all associated
+      #   objects' foreign keys are set to NULL *without* calling their save callbacks.
+      #   NOTE: :dependent => true is deprecated and has been replaced with :dependent => :destroy.
+      #   May not be set if :exclusively_dependent is also set.
+      # * <tt>:exclusively_dependent</tt>   - Deprecated; equivalent to :dependent => :delete_all. If set to true all
+      #   the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
+      #   before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on this class and don't need to do any
+      #   clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
+      #   May not be set if :dependent is also set.
+      # * <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 +:finder_sql+ is
+      #   specified but +:counter_sql+, +:counter_sql+ will be generated by replacing SELECT ... FROM with SELECT COUNT(*) FROM.
+      # * <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 GROUP BY 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 * as in SELECT * FROM, but can be changed if you for example want to do a join, but not
+      #   include the joined columns.
+      # * <tt>:as</tt>: Specifies a polymorphic interface (See #belongs_to).
+      # * <tt>:through</tt>: Specifies a Join Model to perform the query through.  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.
+      # * <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 +:subscribers+ or
+      #   +:subscriber+ on +Subscription+, unless a +:source+ 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 set to true, duplicates will be omitted from the collection. Useful in conjunction with :through.
+      #
+      # Option examples:
+      #   has_many :comments, :order => "posted_on"
+      #   has_many :comments, :include => :author

+      # 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" outranks "P".  Note that this precedence
+      # is calculated using the <tt><</tt> operator for <tt>String</tt>.  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 <tt>paper_boxes</tt> and <tt>papers</tt>
+      # to generate a join table name of <tt>papers_paper_boxes</tt> because of the length of the name <tt>paper_boxes</tt>,
+      # but it in fact generates a join table name of <tt>paper_boxes_papers</tt>.  Be aware of this caveat, and use the
+      # custom <tt>join_table</tt> option if you need to.
+      #
+      # Deprecated: Any additional fields added to the join table will be placed as attributes when pulling records out through
+      # has_and_belongs_to_many associations. Records returned from join tables with additional attributes will be marked as
+      # ReadOnly (because we can't save changes to the additional attrbutes). It's strongly recommended that you upgrade any
+      # associations with attributes to a real join model (see introduction).
+      #
+      # Adds the following methods for retrieval and query.
+      # +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
+      # <tt>has_and_belongs_to_many :categories</tt> would add among others <tt>categories.empty?</tt>.
+      # * <tt>collection(force_reload = false)</tt> - returns an array of all the associated objects.
+      #   An empty array is returned if none is found.
+      # * <tt>collection<<(object, ...)</tt> - adds one or more objects to the collection by creating associations in the join table
+      #   (collection.push and collection.concat are aliases to this method).
+      # * <tt>collection.push_with_attributes(object, join_attributes)</tt> - adds one to the collection by creating an association in the join table that
+      #   also holds the attributes from <tt>join_attributes</tt> (should be a hash with the column names as keys). This can be used to have additional
+      #   attributes on the join, which will be injected into the associated objects when they are retrieved through the collection.
+      #   (collection.concat_with_attributes is an alias to this method). This method is now deprecated.
+      # * <tt>collection.delete(object, ...)</tt> - removes one or more objects from the collection by removing their associations from the join table.
+      #   This does not destroy the objects.
+      # * <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 by the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+
+      # * <tt>collection.clear</tt> - removes every object from the collection. This does not destroy the objects.
+      # * <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(id)</tt> - finds an associated object responding to the +id+ and that
+      #   meets the condition that it has to be associated with this object.
+      # * <tt>collection.build(attributes = {})</tt> - 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.
+      # * <tt>collection.create(attributes = {})</tt> - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
+      #   with +attributes+ and linked to this object through the join table and that has already been saved (if it passed the validation).
+      #
+      # Example: An 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=</tt>

+      # * <tt>Developer#projects.empty?</tt>
+      # * <tt>Developer#projects.size</tt>
+      # * <tt>Developer#projects.find(id)</tt>
+      # * <tt>Developer#projects.build</tt> (similar to <tt>Project.new("project_id" => id)</tt>)
+      # * <tt>Developer#projects.create</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Project.new("project_id" => id); c.save; c</tt>)
+      # The declaration may 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_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.
+      # * <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
+      #   of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a +Person+ class that makes a has_and_belongs_to_many association
+      #   will use "person_id" as the default foreign_key.
+      # * <tt>:association_foreign_key</tt> - specify the association foreign key used for the association. By default this is
+      #   guessed to be the name of the associated class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So if the associated class is +Project+,
+      #   the has_and_belongs_to_many association will use "project_id" as the default association foreign_key.
+      # * <tt>:conditions</tt>  - specify the conditions that the associated object must meet in order to be included as a "WHERE"
+      #   sql fragment, such as "authorized = 1".
+      # * <tt>:order</tt> - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment, such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
+      # * <tt>:uniq</tt> - if set to true, duplicate associated objects will be ignored by accessors and query methods
+      # * <tt>:finder_sql</tt> - overwrite the default generated SQL used to fetch the association with a manual one
+      # * <tt>:delete_sql</tt> - overwrite the default generated SQL used to remove links between the associated
+      #   classes with a manual one
+      # * <tt>:insert_sql</tt> - overwrite the default generated SQL used to add links between the associated classes
+      #   with a manual one
+      # * <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 GROUP BY 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 * as in SELECT * FROM, but can be changed if you for example want to do a join, but not
+      #   include the joined columns.
+      #
+      # Option examples:
