-# Extensions to +nil+ which allow for more helpful error messages for people who
-# are new to Rails.
-#
-# Ruby raises NoMethodError if you invoke a method on an object that does not
-# respond to it:
-#
-# $ ruby -e nil.destroy
-# -e:1: undefined method `destroy' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
-#
-# With these extensions, if the method belongs to the public interface of the
-# classes in NilClass::WHINERS the error message suggests which could be the
-# actual intended class:
-#
-# $ script/runner nil.destroy
-# ...
-# You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
-# ...
-#
-# NilClass#id exists in Ruby 1.8 (though it is deprecated). Since +id+ is a fundamental
-# method of Active Record models NilClass#id is redefined as well to raise a RuntimeError
-# and warn the user. She probably wanted a model database identifier and the 4
-# returned by the original method could result in obscure bugs.
-#
-# The flag <tt>config.whiny_nils</tt> determines whether this feature is enabled.
-# By default it is on in development and test modes, and it is off in production
-# mode.
