-    # The xml_serializer plugin handles serializing entire Sequel::Model
-    # objects to XML, and deserializing XML into a single Sequel::Model
-    # object or an array of Sequel::Model objects.  It requires the
-    # nokogiri library.
-    #
-    # Basic Example:
-    #
-    #   album = Album[1]
-    #   puts album.to_xml
-    #   # Output:
-    #   # <?xml version="1.0"?>
-    #   # <album>
-    #   #   <id>1</id>
-    #   #   <name>RF</name>
-    #   #   <artist_id>2</artist_id>
-    #   # </album>
-    #
-    # You can provide options to control the XML output:
-    #
-    #   puts album.to_xml(only: :name)
-    #   puts album.to_xml(except: [:id, :artist_id])
-    #   # Output:
-    #   # <?xml version="1.0"?>
-    #   # <album>
-    #   #   <name>RF</name>
-    #   # </album>
-    #
-    #   album.to_xml(include: :artist)
-    #   # Output:
-    #   # <?xml version="1.0"?>
-    #   # <album>
-    #   #   <id>1</id>
-    #   #   <name>RF</name>
-    #   #   <artist_id>2</artist_id>
-    #   #   <artist>
-    #   #     <id>2</id>
-    #   #     <name>YJM</name>
-    #   #   </artist>
-    #   # </album>
-    # 
-    # You can use a hash value with <tt>:include</tt> to pass options
-    # to associations:
-    #
-    #   album.to_xml(include: {artist: {only: :name}})
-    #   # Output:
-    #   # <?xml version="1.0"?>
-    #   # <album>
-    #   #   <id>1</id>
-    #   #   <name>RF</name>
-    #   #   <artist_id>2</artist_id>
-    #   #   <artist>
-    #   #     <name>YJM</name>
-    #   #   </artist>
-    #   # </album>
-    #
-    # +to_xml+ also exists as a class and dataset method, both
-    # of which return all objects in the dataset:
-    #
-    #   Album.to_xml
-    #   Album.where(artist_id: 1).to_xml(include: :tags)
-    #
-    # If you have an existing array of model instances you want to convert to
-    # XML, you can call the class to_xml method with the :array option:
-    #
-    #   Album.to_xml(array: [Album[1], Album[2]])
-    #
-    # In addition to creating XML, this plugin also enables Sequel::Model
-    # classes to create instances directly from XML using the from_xml class
-    # method:
-    #
-    #   xml = album.to_xml
-    #   album = Album.from_xml(xml)
-    #
-    # The array_from_xml class method exists to parse arrays of model instances
-    # from xml:
-    #
-    #   xml = Album.where(artist_id: 1).to_xml
-    #   albums = Album.array_from_xml(xml)
-    #
-    # These does not necessarily round trip, since doing so would let users
-    # create model objects with arbitrary values.  By default, from_xml will
-    # call set using values from the tags in the xml.  If you want to specify the allowed
-    # fields, you can use the :fields option, which will call set_fields with
-    # the given fields:
-    #
-    #   Album.from_xml(album.to_xml, fields: %w'id name')
-    #
-    # If you want to update an existing instance, you can use the from_xml
-    # instance method:
-    #
-    #   album.from_xml(xml)
-    #
-    # Both of these allow creation of cached associated objects, if you provide
-    # the :associations option:
-    #
-    #   album.from_xml(xml, associations: :artist)
-    #
-    # You can even provide options when setting up the associated objects:
-    #
-    #   album.from_xml(xml, associations: {artist: {fields: %w'id name', associations: :tags}})
-    #
-    # Usage:
-    #
-    #   # Add XML output capability to all model subclass instances (called before loading subclasses)
-    #   Sequel::Model.plugin :xml_serializer
-    #
