# <tt>ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> provides a way to add prefixes and
# suffixes to your methods as well as handling the creation of Active Record
# like class methods such as +table_name+.
#
# The requirements to implement ActiveModel::AttributeMethods are to:
#
# * <tt>include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> in your object
# * <tt>include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods</tt> in your object.
# * Call each Attribute Method module method you want to add, such as
# attribute_method_suffix or attribute_method_prefix
# * Call <tt>define_attribute_methods</tt> after the other methods are
# called.
# * Define the various generic +_attribute+ methods that you have declared
# +attribute_method_suffix+ or +attribute_method_prefix+.
# * Call +define_attribute_methods+ after the other methods are called.
# * Define the various generic +_attribute+ methods that you have declared.
#
# A minimal implementation could be:
#
# class Person
# include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
#
# attribute_method_affix :prefix => 'reset_', :suffix => '_to_default!'
# attribute_method_affix prefix: 'reset_', suffix: '_to_default!'
# attribute_method_suffix '_contrived?'
# attribute_method_prefix 'clear_'
# define_attribute_methods 'name'
# define_attribute_methods :name
