+To have SimpleForm infer the attributes' types, you can provide
+`#has_attribute?` and `#type_for_attribute` methods.
+The later should return an object that responds to `#type`
+with the attribute type. This is useful for generating
+the correct input types (eg: checkboxes for booleans).
+
+```ruby
+class User < Struct.new(:id, :name, :age, :registered)

 If your object doesn't implement those methods, you must make explicit it when you are
 building the form
