I sometimes create database columns with the intent of having comma-separated values as their contents; a common occurrence is for email recipients. Having a comma-separated list of recipients in my interface, however, isn't really the way I'd like to display the column's contents. When I'm working with multiple values in my views, I'd much rather have an array. By overriding ActiveRecord's default accessor for the column, we can convert the string into something more flexible on the interface side.
