#using_yaml(*args) ⇒ Object

Used to configure UsingYAML for a class by defining what files should be loaded and from where.

include UsingYAML
using_yaml :foo, :bar, :path => "/some/where"

args can contain either filenames or a hash which specifices a path which contains the corresponding files.

The value of :path must either be a string or Proc (see using_yaml_path for more information on overriding paths).
