+      #     # or: one_to_one :portfolio

+      #     # or: many_to_many :milestones 
+      #   end
+      # 
+      # The project class now has the following instance methods:
+      # portfolio :: Returns the associated portfolio.
+      # portfolio=(obj) :: Sets the associated portfolio to the object,
+      #                    but the change is not persisted until you save the record (for many_to_one associations).
+      # portfolio_dataset :: Returns a dataset that would return the associated
+      #                      portfolio, only useful in fairly specific circumstances.
+      # milestones :: Returns an array of associated milestones
+      # add_milestone(obj) :: Associates the passed milestone with this object.
+      # remove_milestone(obj) :: Removes the association with the passed milestone.
+      # remove_all_milestones :: Removes associations with all associated milestones.
+      # milestones_dataset :: Returns a dataset that would return the associated
+      #                       milestones, allowing for further filtering/limiting/etc.
+      #
+      # If you want to override the behavior of the add_/remove_/remove_all_/ methods
+      # or the association setter method, use the :adder, :remover, :clearer, and/or :setter
+      # options.  These options override the default behavior.
+      #
+      # By default the classes for the associations are inferred from the association
+      # name, so for example the Project#portfolio will return an instance of 
+      # Portfolio, and Project#milestones will return an array of Milestone 
+      # instances.  You can use the :class option to change which class is used.
+      #
+      # Association definitions are also reflected by the class, e.g.:
+      #
+      #   Project.associations
+      #   => [:portfolio, :milestones]
+      #   Project.association_reflection(:portfolio)
+      #   => #<Sequel::Model::Associations::ManyToOneAssociationReflection Project.many_to_one :portfolio>

+        #                 associated model's primary key.  Each associated model object can
+        #                 be associated with more than one current model objects.  Each current
+        #                 model object can be associated with only one associated model object.
+        # :one_to_many :: Foreign key in associated model's table points to this
+        #                 model's primary key.   Each current model object can be associated with
+        #                 more than one associated model objects.  Each associated model object
+        #                 can be associated with only one current model object.
+        # :one_through_one :: Similar to many_to_many in terms of foreign keys, but only one object
+        #                     is associated to the current object through the association.
+        #                     Provides only getter methods, no setter or modification methods.
+        # :one_to_one :: Similar to one_to_many in terms of foreign keys, but
+        #                only one object is associated to the current object through the
+        #                association.  The methods created are similar to many_to_one, except
+        #                that the one_to_one setter method saves the passed object.
+        # :many_to_many :: A join table is used that has a foreign key that points
+        #                  to this model's primary key and a foreign key that points to the
+        #                  associated model's primary key.  Each current model object can be
+        #                  associated with many associated model objects, and each associated
+        #                  model object can be associated with many current model objects.
+        #
+        # The following options can be supplied:

+        # :adder :: Proc used to define the private _add_* method for doing the database work
+        #           to associate the given object to the current object (*_to_many assocations).
+        # :after_add :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
+        #               after a new item is added to the association.
+        # :after_load :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
+        #                after the associated record(s) have been retrieved from the database.
+        # :after_remove :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
+        #                  after an item is removed from the association.
+        # :after_set :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
+        #               after an item is set using the association setter method.
+        # :allow_eager :: If set to false, you cannot load the association eagerly
+        #                 via eager or eager_graph
+        # :before_add :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call

+        # :before_remove :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call

+        #                before an item is set using the association setter method.
+        # :cartesian_product_number :: the number of joins completed by this association that could cause more
+        #                              than one row for each row in the current table (default: 0 for
+        #                              many_to_one, one_to_one, and one_through_one associations, 1
+        #                              for one_to_many and many_to_many associations).
+        # :class :: The associated class or its name as a string or symbol. If not
+        #           given, uses the association's name, which is camelized (and
+        #           singularized unless the type is :many_to_one, :one_to_one, or one_through_one).  If this is specified
+        #           as a string or symbol, you must specify the full class name (e.g. "::SomeModule::MyModel"). 
+        # :class_namespace :: If :class is given as a string or symbol, sets the default namespace in which to look for
+        #                     the class.  <tt>class: 'Foo', class_namespace: 'Bar'</tt> looks for <tt>::Bar::Foo</tt>.)
+        # :clearer :: Proc used to define the private _remove_all_* method for doing the database work
+        #             to remove all objects associated to the current object (*_to_many assocations).
+        # :clone :: Merge the current options and block into the options and block used in defining
+        #           the given association.  Can be used to DRY up a bunch of similar associations that
+        #           all share the same options such as :class and :key, while changing the order and block used.
+        # :conditions :: The conditions to use to filter the association, can be any argument passed to where.
+        #                This option is not respected when using eager_graph or association_join, unless it
+        #                is hash or array of two element arrays.  Consider also specifying the :graph_block
+        #                option if the value for this option is not a hash or array of two element arrays
+        #                and you plan to use this association in eager_graph or association_join.
+        # :dataset :: A proc that is used to define the method to get the base dataset to use (before the other
+        #             options are applied).  If the proc accepts an argument, it is passed the related
+        #             association reflection.  It is a best practice to always have the dataset accept an argument
+        #             and use the argument to return the appropriate dataset.
+        # :distinct :: Use the DISTINCT clause when selecting associating object, both when
+        #              lazy loading and eager loading via .eager (but not when using .eager_graph).
+        # :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).
+        #                 many_to_many associations with this option cannot be eagerly loaded via +eager+.
+        # :eager_grapher :: A proc to use to implement eager loading via +eager_graph+, overriding the default.
+        #                   Takes an options hash with at least the entries :self (the receiver of the eager_graph call),
+        #                   :table_alias (the alias to use for table to graph into the association), and :implicit_qualifier
+        #                   (the alias that was used for the current table).
+        #                   Should return a copy of the dataset with the association graphed into it.
+        # :eager_limit_strategy :: Determines the strategy used for enforcing limits and offsets when eager loading
+        #                          associations via the +eager+ method.  
+        # :eager_loader :: A proc to use to implement eager loading, overriding the default.  Takes a single hash argument,
+        #                  with at least the keys: :rows, which is an array of current model instances, :associations,
+        #                  which is a hash of dependent associations, :self, which is the dataset doing the eager loading,
+        #                  :eager_block, which is a dynamic callback that should be called with the dataset, and :id_map,
+        #                  which is a mapping of key values to arrays of current model instances. 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.  Can be set to nil to not populate the key_hash.
+        # :extend :: A module or array of modules to extend the dataset with.
+        # :filter_limit_strategy :: Determines the strategy used for enforcing limits and offsets when filtering by
+        #                           limited associations.  Possible options are :window_function, :distinct_on, or
+        #                           :correlated_subquery depending on association type and database type.
+        # :graph_alias_base :: The base name to use for the table alias when eager graphing.  Defaults to the name
+        #                      of the association.  If the alias name has already been used in the query, Sequel will create
+        #                      a unique alias by appending a numeric suffix (e.g. alias_0, alias_1, ...) until the alias is
+        #                      unique.
+        # :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.
+        # :graph_join_type :: The type of SQL join to use when eagerly loading the association via
+        #                     eager_graph.  Defaults to :left_outer.
+        # :graph_only_conditions :: The conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading
+        #                           the association via +eager_graph+, instead of the default conditions specified by the
+        #                           foreign/primary keys.  This option causes the :graph_conditions option to be ignored.
+        # :graph_order :: Over the order to use when using eager_graph, instead of the default order.  This should be used
+        #                 in the case where :order contains an identifier qualified by the table's name, which may not match
+        #                 the alias used when eager graphing.  By setting this to the unqualified identifier, it will be
+        #                 automatically qualified when using eager_graph.
+        # :graph_select :: A column or array of columns to select from the associated table
+        #                  when eagerly loading the association via +eager_graph+. Defaults to all
+        #                  columns in the associated table.

+      # You can also pass a callback as a hash value in order to customize the dataset being
+      # eager loaded at query time, analogous to the way the :eager_block association option
+      # allows you to customize it at association definition time. For example,
+      # if you wanted artists with their albums since 1990:
+      #
+      #   Artist.eager(albums: proc{|ds| ds.where{year > 1990}})
+      #
+      # Or if you needed albums and their artist's name only, using a single query:
+      #
+      #   Albums.eager_graph(artist: proc{|ds| ds.select(:name)})
+      #
+      # To cascade eager loading while using a callback, you substitute the cascaded
+      # associations with a single entry hash that has the proc callback as the key and 
+      # the cascaded associations as the value.  This will load artists with their albums
+      # since 1990, and also the tracks on those albums and the genre for those tracks:
+      #
+      #   Artist.eager(albums: {proc{|ds| ds.where{year > 1990}}=>{tracks: :genre}})

+        # The preferred eager loading method.  Loads all associated records using one
+        # query for each association.
+        #
+        # The basic idea for how it works is that the dataset is first loaded normally.
+        # Then it goes through all associations that have been specified via +eager+.
+        # It loads each of those associations separately, then associates them back
+        # to the original dataset via primary/foreign keys.  Due to the necessity of
+        # all objects being present, you need to use +all+ to use eager loading, as it
+        # can't work with +each+.
+        #
+        # This implementation avoids the complexity of extracting an object graph out
+        # of a single dataset, by building the object graph out of multiple datasets,
+        # one for each association.  By using a separate dataset for each association,
+        # it avoids problems such as aliasing conflicts and creating cartesian product
+        # result sets if multiple one_to_many or many_to_many eager associations are requested.
+        #
+        # One limitation of using this method is that you cannot filter the current dataset
+        # based on values of columns in an associated table, since the associations are loaded
+        # in separate queries.  To do that you need to load all associations in the
+        # same query, and extract an object graph from the results of that query. If you
+        # need to filter based on columns in associated tables, look at +eager_graph+
+        # or join the tables you need to filter on manually. 
+        #
+        # Each association's order, if defined, is respected.
+        # If the association uses a block or has an :eager_block argument, it is used.
+        #
+        # To modify the associated dataset that will be used for the eager load, you should use a
+        # hash for the association, with the key being the association name symbol, and the value being
+        # a callable object that is called with the associated dataset and should return a modified
+        # dataset.  If that association also has dependent associations, instead of a callable object,
+        # use a hash with the callable object being the key, and the dependent association(s) as the value.

+        # or if you have done comparative benchmarking it and determined it is faster.
+        #
+        # This method uses <tt>Dataset#graph</tt> to create appropriate aliases for columns in all the
+        # tables.  Then it uses the graph's metadata to build the associations from the single hash, and
+        # finally replaces the array of hashes with an array model objects inside all.
+        #
+        # Be very careful when using this with multiple one_to_many or many_to_many associations, as you can
+        # create large cartesian products.  If you must graph multiple one_to_many and many_to_many associations,
+        # make sure your filters are narrow if the datasets are large.
+        # 
+        # Each association's order, if defined, is respected. +eager_graph+ probably
+        # won't work correctly on a limited dataset, unless you are
+        # only graphing many_to_one, one_to_one, and one_through_one associations.
+        # 
+        # Does not use the block defined for the association, since it does a single query for
+        # all objects.  You can use the :graph_* association options to modify the SQL query.
+        #
+        # Like +eager+, you need to call +all+ on the dataset for the eager loading to work.  If you just
+        # call +each+, it will yield plain hashes, each containing all columns from all the tables.
+        #
+        # To modify the associated dataset that will be joined to the current dataset, you should use a
+        # hash for the association, with the key being the association name symbol, and the value being
+        # a callable object that is called with the associated dataset and should return a modified
+        # dataset.  If that association also has dependent associations, instead of a callable object,
+        # use a hash with the callable object being the key, and the dependent association(s) as the value.
+        # 
+        # You can specify an alias by providing a Sequel::SQL::AliasedExpression object instead of
+        # an a Symbol for the assocation name.
