Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/assocext/association_extensions/trunk

Methods:

* association_candidates
* association.candidates
* association_complement
* association.complement
* association_unrelated
* association.unrelated
* association_singular_ids

The standard method association_singular_ids= is changed so that it is more lenient; now it ignores blank ids.

Methods on association proxies, e.g., association.candidates, can't be reliably called on belongs_to and has_one associations. When associations of these kinds are nil, there is no proxy and thus nothing to call #candidates et al. on. The methods on the base object can always be savely called.
