# Extensions to nil which allow for more helpful error messages for
# people who are new to rails.
#
# The aim is to ensure that when users pass nil to methods where that isn't
# appropriate, instead of NoMethodError and the name of some method used
# by the framework users will see a message explaining what type of object
# was expected.
