Rails - Aug 2013 - Where is the code that lets you override the templates that the generators use?

In the rails documentation, it states that:

In Rails 3.0 and above, generators don''t just look in the source root
for
templates, they also search for templates in other paths. And one of them 
is lib/templates. Since we want to customize 
Rails::Generators::HelperGenerator, we can do that by simply making a 
template copy inside lib/templates/rails/helper with the name helper.rb.

I''m trying to dig through the rails source code to see where this
lookup
occurs.  I''ve gotten this far.

In
railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/helper/helper_generator.rb<https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/helper/helper_generator.rb>,
the code

template ''helper.rb'',
File.join(''app/helpers'', class_path,
"#{file_name}_helper.rb")


seems to be calling the super class'' method (
railties/lib/rails/generators/named_base.rb<https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/named_base.rb>
):
      # Defines the template that would be used for the migration file.
      # The arguments include the source template file, the migration 
filename etc.
      no_tasks do
        def template(source, *args, &block)
          inside_template do
            super
          end
        end
      end

This in turn inherits from name_base inherits from base, but the method 
"template" doesnt seem to appear in that class. 

Where can I find the code that does this lookup?
