+This module provides a class-level method for specifying that certain
+actions are guarded against being called without certain prerequisites
+being met. This is essentially a special kind of before_filter.
+
+An action may be guarded against being invoked without certain request
+parameters being set, or without certain session values existing.
+
+When a verification is violated, values may be inserted into the flash, and
+a specified redirection is triggered. If no specific action is configured,
+verification failures will by default result in a 400 Bad Request response.
+
+Usage:
+
+  class GlobalController < ActionController::Base
+    # Prevent the #update_settings action from being invoked unless
+    # the 'admin_privileges' request parameter exists. The
+    # settings action will be redirected to in current controller
+    # if verification fails.
+    verify :params => "admin_privileges", :only => :update_post,
+           :redirect_to => { :action => "settings" }
+
+    # Disallow a post from being updated if there was no information
+    # submitted with the post, and if there is no active post in the
+    # session, and if there is no "note" key in the flash. The route
+    # named category_url will be redirected to if verification fails.
+
+    verify :params => "post", :session => "post", "flash" => "note",
+           :only => :update_post,
+           :add_flash => { "alert" => "Failed to create your message" },
+           :redirect_to => :category_url
+
+Note that these prerequisites are not business rules. They do not examine
+the content of the session or the parameters. That level of validation should
+be encapsulated by your domain model or helper methods in the controller.
