 world a happier place at the same time.

+Aaaaaaand then you get things like:

+````
+payment = Payment.create
+
+payment.status

+
+payment.approved!
+# => :approved
+
+payment.pending?
+# => :false
+
+Payment.approved

+
+# Features
+
+## Field
+
+Your enum value is stored as either a Symbol, or an Array (when storing
+multiple values). The actual field name has a leading underscore (e.g.:
+`_status`), but is also aliased with its actual name for you
+convenience.
+
+
+## Accessors
+
+Your enums will get getters-and-setters with the same name. So using the
+'Payment' example above:
+
+````
+payment.status = :declined
+payment.status
+# => :declined
+````
+
+And you also get bang(!) and query(?) methods for each of the values in
+your enum (see [this example](#Usage).
+
+
+## Constants
+
+For each enum, you'll also get a constant named after it. This is to
+help you elsewhere in your app, should you need to display, or leverage
+the list of values. Using the above example:
+
+````
+Payment::STATUS
+# => [:pending, :approved, :declined]
+````
+
+
+## Validations
+
+Enum values are automatically validated against the list. You can
+disable this behaviour (see (below)[#Options]).
+
+
+## Scopes
+
+A scope added for each of your enum's values. Using the example above,
+you'd automatically get:
+
+````
+Payment.pending # => Mongoid::Criteria
+Payment.approved # => Mongoid::Criteria
+Payment.declined # => Mongoid::Criteria
+````
