      I saw a strange bug today and created a simple class to test it: 

      class Alpha
  
  def initialize
     puts 'initialize Alpha'
  end
end

      This class inits fine (Alpha.new). But if I add "include Mongoid::Document" I get this error: 

      >> Alpha.new
initialize Alpha
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]
	from /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/mongoid-2.4.3/lib/mongoid/inspection.rb:32:in `block in inspect_fields'

      Mongoid 2.4.3. The full failing source is: 

      class Alpha
  include Mongoid::Document

  def initialize
     puts 'initialize Alpha'
  end
end

      >> Rails::VERSION::STRING
      => "3.1.1"
      >> RUBY_VERSION
      => "1.9.2"

      I thought adding a simple field (field :name, type: String) might fix it but didn't change anything.
