+Adds a virtual attribute to models, that plays nice with forms etc
+
+
+example:
+
+    class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
+      virtual_attribute :foo, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible
+      virtual_attribute :bar, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible
+    end
+
+    params = {:foo => '1', :bar => 'false'}
+    thing = MyModel.new(params)
+  
+    thing.foo #=>true
+    thing.bar #=> false
+
+
+Virtual attributes can be set to :boolean => true
+
+  - This will parse ['yes', 'true', '1', 1] to be true
+  - and ['no', 'false', '0', 0] to be false
+  - otherwise will be nil
+  - this allows them to be used transparently with checkboxes etc in forms
+
+If using attr_accessible in your model, the virtual attribute should be added to the list to, or you can pass:
+
+    :attr_type => :attr_accessible 
+    
+as an option as shown above to have it done for you
+
+Will document better later, until then:
