class HyperResource

  ## HyperResource::Links is a modified Hash that permits lookup
  ## of a link by its link relation (rel), or an abbreviation thereof.
  ## It also provides read access through `method_missing`.
  ## It is typically created by HyperResource, not by end users.
  ##
  ## For example, a link with rel `someapi:widgets` is accessible
  ## by any of `self.widgets`, `self['widgets']`, `self[:widgets]`, and
  ## `self['someapi:widgets'].

    ## thereof.
