It's not completely inconceivable that you might need paperclip to be
loaded first - if it ends being more than just requiring attachment.rb
you wouldn't want to find yourself effectively rewriting paperclip's
init.rb. If you explicitly name plugins then they are loaded in the
specified in that order eg
config.plugins = [:paperclip, :my_plugin]
maintaining such a list as you add plugins is annoying though (and I
found myself adding a new plugin and spending 5 minutes wondering why
it wasn't working before remembering I hadn't updated the list)
Luckily you can specify :all which represents all not explicitly named
plugins eg
config.plugins = [:all, :my_plugin] or
config.plugins = [:paperclip, :all]
