Good day!

Sometimes we want just to render a collection:

render partial: collection: @cars

Sometimes we want to render a collection using custom partial name:

render partial: 'car_short', collection: @cars

Ok but if Car has has STI-subclasses we should write

class Car < ActiveRecord::Base; def to_partial_path(); "cars/#{kind}"; end; 
end
render collection: @cars

But wait! Partial will be 'cars/bmw', 'cars/mercedes'. But sometimes I want 
to render
a collection with '_short' postfix. But sometimes without it. But 
'to_partial_path' is common...

What to do? This brief 
article<http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2012/01/my-five-favorite-hidden-features-in-rails-3-2/>,
 
4) Custom partial paths, says to do

@cars.each do |car|
  render partial: "cars/#{car.kind}_short", locals: { car: car }
end

But this code is... I don't like to do so, do you?

What about new 'render''s option? A 'postfix'/'prefix' options are nice for 
this example but...

Another example. Partial name is related to your role for this object 
('owner', 'admin', etc.):

@cars.each do |car|
  render partial: "#{car.to_partial_path}_#{your_role_for(car)}", locals: { 
car: car }
end

What do you think? Is it a good idea? Thanx.
