class ActiveRecord::Reflection::MacroReflection

AggregateReflection and AssociationReflection are returned by the Reflection::ClassMethods.
Base class for AggregateReflection and AssociationReflection. Objects of

def ==(other_aggregation)

and +other_aggregation+ has an options hash assigned to it.
Returns +true+ if +self+ and +other_aggregation+ have the same +name+ attribute, +active_record+ attribute, 
def ==(other_aggregation)
  super ||
    other_aggregation.kind_of?(self.class) &&
    name == other_aggregation.name &&
    !other_aggregation.options.nil? &&
    active_record == other_aggregation.active_record

def klass

instead. This allows plugins to hook into association object creation.
a new association object. Use +build_association+ or +create_association+
Note: Do not call +klass.new+ or +klass.create+ to instantiate

# => Client
Company.reflect_on_association(:clients).klass

end
has_many :clients
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base

has_many :clients returns the Client class
composed_of :balance, class_name: 'Money' returns the Money class

Returns the class for the macro.
