Create a presenter object on the fly in Rails

	# Inspired by Ryan Bates pro RailsCast "Presenters from Scratch"
	# This is a proof of concept for 'automagically' creating presenter objects
	#
	# This assumes you have presenter objects that follow the convention
	# Object => ObjectPresenter
	#
	# It intercepts the 'render' method in the controller, and does some
	# introspection to see if there is a presenter defined for the class
	# of the instance variable being looked at. If so, it makes a presenter
	# and adds it as an instance variable
