     Finally, if --parent option is given, it's used as superclass of the
     created model. This allows you create Single Table Inheritance models.
 
+    If you pass a namespaced model name (e.g. admin/account or Admin::Account)
+    then the generator will create a module with a table_name_prefix method
+    to prefix the model's table name with the module name (e.g. admin_account)
