+*   Add a load hook called `active_storage_variant_record` (providing `ActiveStorage::VariantRecord`)
+    to allow for overriding aspects of the `ActiveStorage::VariantRecord` class. This makes
+    `ActiveStorage::VariantRecord` consistent with `ActiveStorage::Blob` and `ActiveStorage::Attachment`
+    that already have load hooks.

 *   `ActiveStorage::PreviewError` is raised when a previewer is unable to generate a preview image.
