# The meta_def extension is designed for backwards compatibility
# with older Sequel code that uses the meta_def method on
# Database, Dataset, and Model classes and/or instances.  It is
# not recommended for usage in new code.  To load this extension:
#
#   Sequel.extension :meta_def
#
# Related module: Sequel::Metaprogramming
