Where is the right place to define inflector rules in CakePHP 1.3?

Question

In CakePHP 1.2, custom inflector rules can be defined in the app/config/inflections.php file. This file has been removed in CakePHP 1.3. Instead, the documentation instructs you to use the Inflector::rules function to load custom inflections.

There is ample documentation on how to define your own custom kinks, but there is no context in the documentation — where to use Inflector::rules .

Should any custom kinks be defined in the bootstrap.php script? At the top of the respective controllers? Somewhere else?

Starting from 1.3, additional rules for the inflector are added below
