Where do I put my resque-retry failure backend code?

The resque-retry gem's README discusses changing the failure backend implementation when implementing.

MultipleWithRetrySuppression is a multiple failure backend, with retry suppression.

Here's an example, using the Redis failure backend:

require 'resque-retry'
require 'resque/failure/redis'

# require your jobs & application code.

Resque::Failure::MultipleWithRetrySuppression.classes = [Resque::Failure::Redis]
Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::MultipleWithRetrySuppression

If a job fails, but can and will retry, the failure details wont be logged in the Redis failed queue (visible via resque-web).

If the job fails, but can't or won't retry, the failure will be logged in the Redis failed queue, like a normal failure (without retry) would.

I'm not sure where in my Rails app that code should go. Should I just place it into any random initializer file, e.g. config/initializers/resque.rb? Or is there some other place in my app where it should go? The documentation is not clear.

Looks like an initializer is the best bet. Accepting this as the best answer unless someone comes along with a better suggestion.
