# Redefines const value during block execution.
#
# Usage example:
#   SOMECONST = 1     # SOMECONST == 1
#   redefine_const(:SOMECONST, 'hello') do
#     puts SOMECONST  # SOMECONST == 'hello'
#   end
#                     # SOMECONST == 1

Creating a Multi Page Form in Rails

Creating a multi-step wizard-like form is pretty difficult in Rails. 
Especially when trying to apply REST and validations. There are many 
different approaches to this problem, and the right one depends largely 
on your application details. Here are four options, and then my final 
recommendation. Skip to that if you're in a hurry.

1. Create the model at the beginning on the first page of the form, and 
have each successive page update the model. Validations are tricky
