Excellent start Yuki! I started working on this as well on Friday and came to pretty much the same solution.
I would have just left my changes in favor of Yuki's PR, but I think is misses the point. The idea is for rails to stop calling x.class.model_name, and only call x.model_name. I've started another PR making those changes: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/15889 There's still two things to address: 1. I've left a few REVIEW comments. I'm looking for feedback there, but will remove them and rebase soon enough. 2. I'm still working on a warning to address the issue that Andy Jeffries brought up in this thread. I'm thinking it should just be a warning. I'm digging into it now; does anyone know of an example of rails currently doing this? Thanks! -Amiel On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 6:42 AM, Yuki Nishijima <m...@yukinishijima.net> wrote: > Pull request sent: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/15871 > > > On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 7:15 AM, DHH <da...@loudthinking.com> wrote: > >> I'm very much in favor of this as well.
