Global lazy_load! and verbose! not working

[slbug]

config/initializers/api.rb

ActiveRestClient::Base.base_url = API::URL
ActiveRestClient::Base.lazy_load!
ActiveRestClient::Base.verbose Rails.env.development?

app/models/person.rb

class Person < ActiveRestClient::Base
  get :all, '/persons'
end

rails console

2.1.0 :001 > Person.all
ActiveRestClient Person:/persons - Trying to read from cache
ActiveRestClient Person#all - Requesting http://site/api/persons
ActiveRestClient Person#all - Response received 20 bytes
ActiveRestClient (80.0ms) Person#all
 => ActiveRestClient::ResultIterator:0x000000099ef7b0

So as you see no verbosity and lazy load.

Same thing if i create own base class and set config.

app/models/my_base.rb

class MyBase < ActiveRestClient::Base
  lazy_load!
  verbose Rails.env.development?
end

app/models/person.rb

class Person < MyBase
  get :all, '/persons'
end

This was intentional and hence it's not documented as working, although I can see why you'd think it would work this way (and FWIW I agree it would be nice if it did it).
