class Class
# Declare a class-level attribute whose value is inheritable and
# overwritable by subclasses:
#
# class Base
# class_attribute :setting
# end
#
# class Subclass < Base
# end
#
# Base.setting = true
# Subclass.setting # => true
# Subclass.setting = false
# Subclass.setting # => false
# Base.setting # => true
#
# This matches normal Ruby method inheritance: think of writing an attribute
# on a subclass as overriding the reader method.
#
# For convenience, a query method is defined as well:
#
# Subclass.setting? # => false
#
# Instances may overwrite the class value in the same way:
#
# Base.setting = true
# object = Base.new
# object.setting # => true
# object.setting = false
# object.setting # => false
# Base.setting # => true
#
# To opt out of the instance writer method, pass :instance_writer => false.
#
# object.setting = false # => NoMethodError
