              File.open(path, "w") { |f| f.write(contents) }
            end

          def reloadable_patch(plugin = self)
            if Rails.env.development? && defined?(ActiveSupport::Reloader)
              ActiveSupport::Reloader.to_prepare do
                # reload the patch
                yield plugin
              end
            end
          
            # apply the patch
            yield plugin
          end
