  # == Active Model Naming
  #
  # Creates a +model_name+ method on your object.
  #
  # To implement, just extend ActiveModel::Naming in your object:
  #
  #   class BookCover
  #     extend ActiveModel::Naming
  #   end
  #
  #   BookCover.model_name        # => "BookCover"
  #   BookCover.model_name.human  # => "Book cover"
  #
  # Providing the functionality that ActiveModel::Naming provides in your object
  # is required to pass the Active Model Lint test.  So either extending the provided
  # method below, or rolling your own is required..

    # Returns an ActiveModel::Name object for module. It can be
    # used to retrieve all kinds of naming-related information.
