# The POLYMORPHEUS_ASSOCIATIONS constant is useful for two reasons:
#
# 1. It is useful for other classes to be able to ask this class
# about its polymorphic relationship.
#
# 2. It prevents a class from defining multiple polymorphic
# relationships. Doing so would be a bad idea from a design
# standpoint, and we don't want to allow for (and support)
# that added complexity.
