-        #     1 for one_to_many and many_to_many associations).
-        #   - :class - The associated class or its name. If not

-        #   - :conditions - The conditions to use to filter the association, can be any argument passed to filter.
-        #   - :dataset - A proc that is instance_evaled to get the base dataset

-        #   - :eager - The associations to eagerly load via +eager+ when loading the associated object(s).
-        #   - :eager_block - If given, use the block instead of the default block when
-        #     eagerly loading.  To not use a block when eager loading (when one is used normally),
-        #     set to nil.
-        #   - :eager_graph - The associations to eagerly load via +eager_graph+ when loading the associated object(s).
-        #   - :eager_grapher - A proc to use to implement eager loading via +eager_graph+, overriding the default.
-        #     Takes three arguments, a dataset, an alias to use for the table to graph for this association,
-        #     and the alias that was used for the current table (since you can cascade associations),
-        #     Should return a copy of the dataset with the association graphed into it.
-        #   - :eager_loader - A proc to use to implement eager loading, overriding the default.  Takes one or three arguments.
-        #     If three arguments, the first should be a key hash (used solely to enhance performance), the second an array of records,
-        #     and the third a hash of dependent associations. If one argument, is passed a hash with keys :key_hash,
-        #     :rows, and :associations, corresponding to the three arguments, and an additional key :self, which is
-        #     the dataset doing the eager loading. In the proc, the associated records should
-        #     be queried from the database and the associations cache for each
-        #     record should be populated.
-        #   - :eager_loader_key - A symbol for the key column to use to populate the key hash
-        #     for the eager loader.
-        #   - :extend - A module or array of modules to extend the dataset with.
-        #   - :graph_block - The block to pass to join_table when eagerly loading
-        #     the association via +eager_graph+.
-        #   - :graph_conditions - The additional conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading
-        #     the association via +eager_graph+.  Should be a hash or an array of two element arrays. If not
-        #     specified, the :conditions option is used if it is a hash or array of two element arrays.

-        #     the association via +eager_graph+, instead of the default conditions specified by the

+        #                              many_to_many associations).
+        # :class :: The associated class or its name. If not
+        #           given, uses the association's name, which is camelized (and
+        #           singularized unless the type is :many_to_one or :one_to_one)

+        # :conditions :: The conditions to use to filter the association, can be any argument passed to filter.
+        # :dataset :: A proc that is instance_evaled to get the base dataset
+        #             to use for the _dataset method (before the other options are applied).
+        # :distinct :: Use the DISTINCT clause when selecting associating object, both when

+        #                   Takes one or three arguments. If three arguments, they are a dataset, an alias to use for
+        #                   the table to graph for this association, and the alias that was used for the current table
+        #                   (since you can cascade associations). If one argument, is passed a hash with keys :self,
+        #                   :table_alias, and :implicit_qualifier, corresponding to the three arguments, and an optional
+        #                   additional key :eager_block, a callback accepting one argument, the associated dataset. This

+        #                          the +eager+ method.  For one_to_one associations, no strategy is used by default, and
+        #                          for *_many associations, the :ruby strategy is used by default, which still retrieves
+        #                          all records but slices the resulting array after the association is retrieved.  You
+        #                          can pass a +true+ value for this option to have Sequel pick what it thinks is the best
+        #                          choice for the database, or specify a specific symbol to manually select a strategy.
+        #                          one_to_one associations support :distinct_on, :window_function, and :correlated_subquery.

+        # :eager_loader :: A proc to use to implement eager loading, overriding the default.  Takes one or three arguments.
+        #                  If three arguments, the first should be a key hash (used solely to enhance performance), the
+        #                  second an array of records, and the third a hash of dependent associations. If one argument, is
+        #                  passed a hash with keys :key_hash, :rows, and :associations, corresponding to the three
+        #                  arguments, and an additional key :self, which is the dataset doing the eager loading. In the
+        #                  proc, the associated records should be queried from the database and the associations cache for
+        #                  each record should be populated.
+        # :eager_loader_key :: A symbol for the key column to use to populate the key hash

+        #                           foreign/primary keys.  This option causes the :graph_conditions option to be ignored.

+        #                the current association's key(s).  Set to nil to not use a reciprocal.
