Hey, wow! That's really neat! I'm surprised I didn't read about this
in my ActiveRecord book. (I've only been skimming on a need-basis)
That's neat that you can combine them, *or* run chains of them.
So I've done a bit of online research about the named scopes, and I just
want to make sure that I'm not getting in any danger by starting to
write what may be some long named scope chains ;)
Knowing this, what I will end up doing (as my practical scenario is more
complicated than the example provided), is write several named scopes
and then tie them all together with one
"canRead/canWrite/canModify/canDelete/canCreate" named scope.
Obviously I'm heading in the direction of ACL here, but on a
per-instance level.
All suggestions and reactions are welcome :)
