module Disposable
  class Twin
    # Allows setting a twin class for a host object (e.g. a cell, a form, or a representer) using ::twin
    # and imports a method #build_twin to initialize this twin.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   class SongTwin < Disposable::Twin
    #     properties :id, :title
    #     option :is_released
    #   end
    #
    #   class Cell
    #     include Disposable::Twin::Builder
    #     twin SongTwin
    #
    #     def initialize(model, options)
    #       @twin = build_twin(model, options)
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # An optional block passed to ::twin will be called per property yielding the Definition instance.
