Hey Tiago!

IMO, the feature could be a great addition to Rails. And the number of 
times it has been proposed kinda proves it:
- 
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/85b64f98d100d37b3a232c315daa10fad37dccdc#commitcomment-650592
 
(the very early days of store accessors)
- https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/18942 (extracted into a gem 
store_attribute <https://github.com/palkan/store_attribute>)
- https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26882 (still open).

There is also another gem with a bit different API (
https://github.com/byroot/activerecord-typedstore).

store_accessor :preferences, :show_avatar, :boolean, default: true


This API looks a bit confusing: how to distinguish between `boolean` as 
attribute name and as a type? I mean, the following code is valid in Rails:

store_accessor :preferences, :show_avatar, :boolean
