Yes, custom macros would go there as well... it has use cases.

I think it would be expected to emulate what's done with
ApplicationController. That is, the rails generator would write
app/models/application_model.rb
with something like
class ApplicationModel < ActiveRecord::Base
# Stuff common to your models comes here.
end
and the model generator would output something like this
class User < ApplicationModel
end
Active Record would understand ApplicationModel is abstract as a hard-
coded builtin assumption.
