While I agree with the extreme grooviness of Ruby for Rails,
nevertheless it makes no reference to either camelize or constantize. I
also checked in Programming Ruby and found nothing. Where does one go
to find these wonderful calls if they are not in the books?

Some are documented in the API, the Agile documents also some of
those. If you develop in Rails, however, it's a good idea to spend an
afternoon reading the source of Active Support.

Well, these are calls from ActiveSupport which is one of the pieces
that make up Rails. You wouldn't find anything in Programming Ruby
because this isn't core Ruby. Now there have been some bits and
pieces that work their way into core (like Symbol#to_proc), but
generally the ActiveSupport stuff is likely to stay in its gem.

It's too bad that Ruby for Rails doesn't touch on this (I had to go
look at the index to see if there was a page reference that I could
give you, but no).
