#inheritable_inner_classes(*classes) ⇒ Object

Declare inner classes to be inherited when the outer class in inherited The best way to show this is by example:

This provides a more organic inheritance where the child gets their own version of the inner class which is actually inherited from the parents inner class. The inheritance chain remains intact.

Examples:

class Foo
  inheritable_inner_class :Bar

  class Bar
  end
end

class Baz < Foo
  # When Foo is inherited, the following occurs
  class Bar < Foo::Bar; end
end
