== Primary Goals

=== ModelAutomator rewrite

  ModelAutomator will be rewritted as AutomatedController

  desired usage:

     class PostsController < ApplicationController
       automate  # will automatically infer that the model is Post

       private

         # able to override specific responses
         def respond_to_xml_on_index
           render :text => @posts.to_xml
         end
     end

  new find_or_initialize:

     class CommentsController < ApplicationController
       # @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
       # @comment = @post.comments.find(params[:id])
       find_or_initialize :comment, :belongs_to => :post
     end

     class CitiesController < ApplicationController
       # @country = Country.find(params[:country_id])
       # @city = @country.towns.custom_finder(params[:id], params[:another_field])
       find_or_initialize :city,
                          :belongs_to => :country, :as => :town,
                          :finder => :custom_finder, :id => [:id, :another_field]
     end

     # Maybe too much, but it would be nice
     class ParagraphController < ApplicationController
       # @author = Author.find(params[:author_id])
       # @book = @author.works.find(params[:book_id])
       # @page = @book.pages.find(params[:page_id])
       # @paragraph => @page.paragraphs.find(params[:id])
       find_or_initialize :paragraph,
                          :belongs_to => {
                            :page => {
                            :belongs_to => {
                              :book => {
                              :belongs_to => :author, :as => :work
                              }
                            }}
                          }
     end
