  # Initializes a new settings object. You can initialize an object in any of the following ways:
  #
  #   Settings.new(:application) # will look for config/application.yml
  #   Settings.new("application.yaml") # will look for application.yaml
  #   Settings.new("/var/configs/application.yml") # will look for /var/configs/application.yml
  #   Settings.new(:config1 => 1, :config2 => 2)
  #
  # Basically if you pass a symbol it will look for that file in the configs directory of your rails app, if you are using this in rails. If you pass a string it should be an absolute path to your settings file.
  # Then you can pass a hash, and it just allows you to access the hash via methods.
