module ActiveSupport
  # Autoload and eager load conveniences for your library.
  #
  # This module allows you to define autoloads based on
  # Rails conventions (i.e. no need to define the path
  # it is automatically guessed based on the filename)
  # and also define a set of constants that needs to be
  # eager loaded:
  #
  #   module MyLib
  #     extend ActiveSupport::Autoload
  #
  #     autoload :Model
  #
  #     eager_autoload do
  #       autoload :Cache
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Then your library can be eager loaded by simply calling:
  #
  #   MyLib.eager_load!
