Don't just be informative, try to be helpful too. This sweet little tidbit of Rails functionality has been in the scaffolding code since January, but today is the first time I've triggered it. I might even have to trigger it during my demo tomorrow, just for fun and as a vivid example of the mentality of the Rails framework authors.

C:\workspace\otug\monopoly>ruby script\generate scaffold Holding
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      create  app/views/holdings
      exists  test/functional/
      create  app/views/holdings/_form.rhtml
  dependency  model
  The name 'Holding' is reserved by Ruby on Rails.
