@jonleighton committed a big refactor yesterday that might be a good sign here; looks like a lot of the old monolithic AR code is now new-style Concerns, more of a defined API, etc. If the root problem here is ARel itself, that won't help, but if it's really AR::Relation, maybe Rails is moving in the right direction. We use user-defined functions in Postgres, and I have the same complaint - in theory, the move toward composable relations is great, but in practice, there are so many hitches and gotchas and prior assumptions and backwards-compatibility requirements that it's never clean.
