any? will check that each item in the array is truthy, as opposed to
!empty? which will simply check that the array has length. For an empty
array, !empty? still seems to be faster than any?

deep_dup is slow. we only need to dup the values, so just do that
directly.

It's not really a good idea to have this as a global config option. We
should allow people to specify the behaviour per association.

There will now be two new values:

* :dependent => :restrict_with_exception implements the current
  behaviour of :restrict. :restrict itself is deprecated in favour of
  :restrict_with_exception.
* :dependent => :restrict_with_error implements the new behaviour - it
  adds an error to the owner if there are dependent records present

See #4727 for the original discussion of this.

This reverts commit 14fc8b34.

Reason: we need to discuss a better path from this removal.

This feature adds a lot of complication to ActiveRecord for dubious
value. Let's talk about what it does currently:

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
  composed_of :balance, :class_name => "Money", :mapping => %w(balance amount)
end

Instead, you can do something like this:

    def balance
      @balance ||= Money.new(value, currency)
    end

    def balance=(balance)
      self[:value] = balance.value
      self[:currency] = balance.currency
      @balance = balance
    end

Since that's fairly easy code to write, and doesn't need anything
extra from the framework, if you use composed_of today, you'll
have to add accessors/mutators like that.

Get rid of ActiveModel::Configuration, make better use of
ActiveSupport::Concern + class_attribute, etc.

There are two possible scenarios where the @mass_assignment_options
instance variable can become corrupted:

1. If the assign_attributes doesn't complete correctly, then
   subsequent calls to a nested attribute assignment method will use
   whatever options were passed to the previous assign_attributes call.

2. With nested assign_attributes calls, the inner call will overwrite
   the current options. This will only affect nested attributes as the
   attribute hash is sanitized before any methods are called.

To fix this we save the current options in a local variable and then
restore these options in an ensure block.

Add #nodoc to initialize_dup and use :method: to document the #dup method.
Relates to issue #6235

The #relation method gets called in four places and the return value was instantly cloned in three of them. The only place that did not clone was ActiveRecord::Scoping::Default::ClassMethods#unscoped. This introduced a bug described in #5667 and should really clone the relation, too. This means all four places would clone the relation, so it doesn't make a lot of sense caching it in the first place.

The four places with calls to relations are:

activerecord/lib/active_record/scoping/default.rb:110:in `block in build_default_scope'"
activerecord/lib/active_record/scoping/default.rb:42:in `unscoped'"
activerecord/lib/active_record/scoping/named.rb:38:in `scoped'"
activerecord/lib/active_record/scoping/named.rb:52:in `scope_attributes'"

This apparently fix the warning related to @new_record variable not
being initialized in AR's test suit, when an association is built and
the object is marshalled/loaded.

See these tests in AR's base_test.rb:

test_marshalling_with_associations
test_marshalling_new_record_round_trip_with_associations

Thanks @pwnall for the heads-up.
