			# By using <tt>belongs_to_image</tt> over <tt>belongs_to</tt>, you gain the ability to
			# set the image directly from an uploaded file. This works exactly like <tt>belongs_to</tt>,
			# except the class name will default to 'Image' - not the name of the association.
			# 
			# Example:
			#
			#   # Model code
			#   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
			#     belongs_to_image :mugshot
			#   end
			#
			#   # View code
			#   <% form_for 'person', @person, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
			#     <%= f.file_field :mugshot %>
			#   <% end %>
