*   Pull in the custom configuration concept from dhh/custom_configuration, which allows you to
    configure your own code through the Rails configuration object with custom configuration:

        # config/environments/production.rb
        config.x.payment_processing.schedule = :daily
        config.x.payment_processing.retries  = 3
        config.x.super_debugger              = true

    These configuration points are then available through the configuration object:

        Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.schedule # => :daily
        Rails.configuration.x.payment_processing.retries  # => 3
        Rails.configuration.x.super_debugger              # => true
