Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(m, *args) ⇒ Object

Allows magic names on following_by_type e.g. following_users == following_by_type(‘User’) Allows magic names on following_by_type_count e.g. following_users_count == following_by_type_count(‘User’)
