• &cached - a value or model that is cached until a condition is met &cached{ 'condition summary' }
• Reference - has_one
• +Reference - belongs_to
• *Multiplicity - has_many
• **ManyToMany:OptionalBackingTable(join_model:attributes) - has and belongs to many
• attribute:*Reference - polymorphic association reference entry
• .SubDocument - local/sub document, entry, ex: .SubDocument, .*SubDocumentArray, .sub_name:NamedSubDocument
• @Mixin - define or use mixin
• ___ - mixin name placeholder for named:@Mixin (these work in mixin code blocks and mixin attribute names)
• mmm/MMM(s) - model name placeholders (these work in any code blocks and mixin attribute names)
• {ruby_code} - ruby_code will be added to model
• !controller{ruby_code} - ruby_code will be added to controller
• !!{ruby_code} - unique ruby_code will be added to model only once
• if, unless, def, module, class - ruby code blocks (else and elsif are not currently supported at root)
• include, require, has_many, serialize, etc. - single line ruby methods
