Dave Thomas (of Pragmatic Programmers fame) has created the annotate_models plugin.
This one solves a pain I have been feeling for quite a while now. Say you are in Textmate, RadRails, vi, or whatever your tool of choice is working on one of your ActiveRecord model classes and you just can’t remember all the field attributes from your schema. This plugin gives you a command line tool to help keep that information close to where you are going to use it most.
