Subject: Re: Adding in class attribute with a Module

Its very useful, the trouble is the models can't see the session (for
good reasons) but they need information from the controller level, such
as current logged in user, and passing it every time you create a model
is a pain and can easily be forgottern. Using cattr_accessor you can set
and forget.

Is this maybe a question better asked on the Rails forum?
