alias_method_chain

Wilhelm Chung had a nice followup to my post last week about Rails Unusual Architecture. He provides more details about how alias_method_chain works and even includes a few pictures (it would be nice to see a few lines connecting the methods though).

Hi, thanks for the compliment. What lines are you referring to?
Hi Wilhelm,
I think the diagrams can be better if you draw lines on them that show validation aliases savewithvalidation which then calls savewithoutvalidation. The boxes don’t make that very clear, at least in my view.
Does that make more sense now?
