> What is ActiveRecord::Extensions?
> --------------------------------------------------
> ActiveRecord::Extension (aka ar-extensions) is a plugin to extend and
> enhance the functionality of ActiveRecord. It starts by adding better
> find support for ActiveRecord. It then adds mass data import
> capabilities which are highly efficient and lastly it supports to_csv
> functionality.

> It also introduces a cool concept of creating easily extendable pieces
> of ActiveRecord functionality, so developers don't have to understand
> ActiveRecord internals or have the fear of breaking ActiveRecord
> itself.

> Is it useful?
