module Hooks
module InheritableAttribute
# Creates an inheritable attribute with accessors in the singleton class. Derived classes inherit the
# attributes. This is especially helpful with arrays or hashes that are extended in the inheritance
# chain. Note that you have to initialize the inheritable attribute.
#
# Example:
#
# class Cat
# inheritable_attr :drinks
# self.drinks = ["Becks"]
#
# class Garfield < Cat
# self.drinks << "Fireman's 4"
#
# and then, later
#
# Cat.drinks #=> ["Becks"]
# Garfield.drinks #=> ["Becks", "Fireman's 4"]
