+inherits_many
+=============
+
+An individual restaurant can have many menu items, but a restaurant that belongs to a chain inherits all it's menu items from the chain it belongs to.
+
+ * When a restaurant joins a chain, it gets a copy of all the menu items from that chain.
+ * When a restaurant leaves a chain, all those menu items go away.
+ * When a menu item is added to a chain, it is added to all the restaurants in that chain.
+ * When a menu item is removed from a chain, it is removed from all restaurants in that chain.
+
+The ActiveRecord associations and `inherits_many` definition look like this:
+ 
+    class Chain < ActiveRecord::Base
+      has_many :restaurants
+      has_many :menu_items
+    end
+
+    class MenuItem < ActiveRecord::Base
+      has_many :restaurant_menu_items
+      has_many :restaurants, through: :restaurant_menu_items
+      belongs_to :chain
+
+      passes_on_to :restaurants, of: :chain
+    end
+
+    class Restaurant < ActiveRecord::Base
+      has_many :restaurant_menu_items
+      has_many :menu_items, through: :restaurant_menu_items
+      belongs_to :chain
+
+      inherits_many :menu_items, from: :chain
+    end
