Trying to create the special Parse "Installation" object for push notifications creates a new custom class called "Instllation"

When trying to create a new Installation object for push notifications, instead of getting a new object from the Parse "special type" Installation, a new custom class is being created.

Code:
new_user = Parse::Object.new "Installation"
new_user["deviceType"] = "ios"
new_user["deviceToken"] = ios_token
new_user["channels"] = Array.new
new_user["channels"] << ""
new_user.save

Was the typo in the title intentional? "Instllation" doesn't appear anywhere in master. If the typo was an accident, here's the reason why this isn't working:

Parse::Object#save points to /classes/[className]. To create an installation you need to POST to /installations.

This would require some additional code to fully support here. If you would like to add this feature, let me know and I can provide pretty decent help to get you going.

No. Typo was typo just here. The code is trying to create the "Installation" object.
I'll be happy to give it a shot if you can just direct me to the right direction to start with.

I stubbed out the basic stuff here: de6c3c7. Just clone/pull and start where I left off.

Take a look at user.rb and object.rb for help.

Also: be sure to write some tests, even failing ones.

Hi.
Just had a chat with someone from Parse. There is a much easier solution. All you need is to use your current code and name the class "_Installation":
new_user = Parse::Object.new "_Installation"

Works like a charm.
You might want to add this to the documentation.
And thanks for the help!!

Thanks a lot @nechmads!

Feel free to add this to the readme or to features.md (this will eventually become the readme).
