# This initializer adds a method, show_mongo, when running a rails console. When active, all
# moped commands (moped is mongoid's mongodb driver) will be logged inline in the console output.
# If called again, logging will be restored to normal (written to log files, not shown inline).
# Usage:
#   > show_mongo
