+      # === Scopes
+      #
+      # You can pass a second argument +scope+ as a callable (i.e. proc or
+      # lambda) to retrieve a specific record or customize the generated query
+      # when you access the associated object.
+      #
+      # Scope examples:
+      #   belongs_to :user, -> { where(id: 2) }
+      #   belongs_to :user, -> { joins(:friends) }
+      #   belongs_to :level, ->(level) { where("game_level > ?", level.current) }
