      # 
      # The project class now has the following instance methods:
      # portfolio :: Returns the associated portfolio.
      # portfolio=(obj) :: Sets the associated portfolio to the object,
      #                    but the change is not persisted until you save the record (for many_to_one associations).
      # portfolio_dataset :: Returns a dataset that would return the associated
      #                      portfolio, only useful in fairly specific circumstances.
      # milestones :: Returns an array of associated milestones
      # add_milestone(obj) :: Associates the passed milestone with this object.
      # remove_milestone(obj) :: Removes the association with the passed milestone.
      # remove_all_milestones :: Removes associations with all associated milestones.
      # milestones_dataset :: Returns a dataset that would return the associated
      #                       milestones, allowing for further filtering/limiting/etc.
      #
      # If you want to override the behavior of the add_/remove_/remove_all_/ methods
      # or the association setter method, use the :adder, :remover, :clearer, and/or :setter
      # options.  These options override the default behavior.
      #
      # By default the classes for the associations are inferred from the association
      # name, so for example the Project#portfolio will return an instance of 
      # Portfolio, and Project#milestones will return an array of Milestone 
      # instances.  You can use the :class option to change which class is used.
      #
      # Association definitions are also reflected by the class, e.g.:
      #
      #   Project.associations
      #   => [:portfolio, :milestones]
      #   Project.association_reflection(:portfolio)
      #   => {:type => :many_to_one, :name => :portfolio, ...}
      #
      # Associations should not have the same names as any of the columns in the
      # model's current table they reference. If you are dealing with an existing schema that
      # has a column named status, you can't name the association status, you'd
      # have to name it foo_status or something else.  If you give an association the same name
      # as a column, you will probably end up with an association that doesn't work, or a SystemStackError.

        # Associates a related model with the current model. The following types are
        # supported:
        #
        # :many_to_one :: Foreign key in current model's table points to 
        #                 associated model's primary key.  Each associated model object can
        #                 be associated with more than one current model objects.  Each current
        #                 model object can be associated with only one associated model object.
        # :one_to_many :: Foreign key in associated model's table points to this
        #                 model's primary key.   Each current model object can be associated with
        #                 more than one associated model objects.  Each associated model object
        #                 can be associated with only one current model object.
        # :one_through_one :: Similar to many_to_many in terms of foreign keys, but only one object
        #                     is associated to the current object through the association.
        #                     Provides only getter methods, no setter or modification methods.
        # :one_to_one :: Similar to one_to_many in terms of foreign keys, but
        #                only one object is associated to the current object through the
        #                association.  The methods created are similar to many_to_one, except
        #                that the one_to_one setter method saves the passed object.
        # :many_to_many :: A join table is used that has a foreign key that points
        #                  to this model's primary key and a foreign key that points to the
        #                  associated model's primary key.  Each current model object can be
        #                  associated with many associated model objects, and each associated
        #                  model object can be associated with many current model objects.
        #
        # The following options can be supplied:
        # === Multiple Types
        # :adder :: Proc used to define the private _add_* method for doing the database work
        #           to associate the given object to the current object (*_to_many assocations).
        # :after_add :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #               after a new item is added to the association.
        # :after_load :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #                after the associated record(s) have been retrieved from the database.
        # :after_remove :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #                  after an item is removed from the association.
        # :after_set :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #               after an item is set using the association setter method.
        # :allow_eager :: If set to false, you cannot load the association eagerly
        #                 via eager or eager_graph
        # :before_add :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #                before a new item is added to the association.
        # :before_remove :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #                   before an item is removed from the association.
        # :before_set :: Symbol, Proc, or array of both/either specifying a callback to call
        #                before an item is set using the association setter method.
        # :cartesian_product_number :: the number of joins completed by this association that could cause more
        #                              than one row for each row in the current table (default: 0 for
        #                              many_to_one, one_to_one, and one_through_one associations, 1
        #                              for one_to_many and many_to_many associations).
        # :class :: The associated class or its name as a string or symbol. If not
        #           given, uses the association's name, which is camelized (and
        #           singularized unless the type is :many_to_one, :one_to_one, or one_through_one).  If this is specified
        #           as a string or symbol, you must specify the full class name (e.g. "::SomeModule::MyModel"). 
        # :class_namespace :: If :class is given as a string or symbol, sets the default namespace in which to look for
        #                     the class.  <tt>:class=>'Foo', :class_namespace=>'Bar'</tt> looks for <tt>::Bar::Foo</tt>.)
        # :clearer :: Proc used to define the private _remove_all_* method for doing the database work
        #             to remove all objects associated to the current object (*_to_many assocations).
        # :clone :: Merge the current options and block into the options and block used in defining
        #           the given association.  Can be used to DRY up a bunch of similar associations that
        #           all share the same options such as :class and :key, while changing the order and block used.
        # :conditions :: The conditions to use to filter the association, can be any argument passed to where.
        #                This option is not respected when using eager_graph or association_join, unless it
        #                is hash or array of two element arrays.  Consider also specifying the :graph_block
        #                option if the value for this option is not a hash or array of two element arrays
        #                and you plan to use this association in eager_graph or association_join.
        # :dataset :: A proc that is instance_execed to get the base dataset to use (before the other
        #             options are applied).  If the proc accepts an argument, it is passed the related
        #             association reflection.
        # :distinct :: Use the DISTINCT clause when selecting associating object, both when
        #              lazy loading and eager loading via .eager (but not when using .eager_graph).
        # :eager :: The associations to eagerly load via +eager+ when loading the associated object(s).
        # :eager_block :: If given, use the block instead of the default block when
        #                 eagerly loading.  To not use a block when eager loading (when one is used normally),
        #                 set to nil.
        # :eager_graph :: The associations to eagerly load via +eager_graph+ when loading the associated object(s).
        #                 many_to_many associations with this option cannot be eagerly loaded via +eager+.
        # :eager_grapher :: A proc to use to implement eager loading via +eager_graph+, overriding the default.
        #                   Takes an options hash with at least the entries :self (the receiver of the eager_graph call),
        #                   :table_alias (the alias to use for table to graph into the association), and :implicit_qualifier
        #                   (the alias that was used for the current table).
        #                   Should return a copy of the dataset with the association graphed into it.
        # :eager_limit_strategy :: Determines the strategy used for enforcing limits and offsets when eager loading
        #                          associations via the +eager+ method.  
        # :eager_loader :: A proc to use to implement eager loading, overriding the default.  Takes a single hash argument,
        #                  with at least the keys: :rows, which is an array of current model instances, :associations,
        #                  which is a hash of dependent associations, :self, which is the dataset doing the eager loading,
        #                  :eager_block, which is a dynamic callback that should be called with the dataset, and :id_map,
        #                  which is a mapping of key values to arrays of current model instances. In the proc, the
        #                  associated records should be queried from the database and the associations cache for each
        #                  record should be populated.
        # :eager_loader_key :: A symbol for the key column to use to populate the key_hash
        #                      for the eager loader.  Can be set to nil to not populate the key_hash.
        # :extend :: A module or array of modules to extend the dataset with.
        # :filter_limit_strategy :: Determines the strategy used for enforcing limits and offsets when filtering by
        #                           limited associations.  Possible options are :window_function, :distinct_on, or
        #                           :correlated_subquery depending on association type and database type.
        # :graph_alias_base :: The base name to use for the table alias when eager graphing.  Defaults to the name
        #                      of the association.  If the alias name has already been used in the query, Sequel will create
        #                      a unique alias by appending a numeric suffix (e.g. alias_0, alias_1, ...) until the alias is
        #                      unique.
        # :graph_block :: The block to pass to join_table when eagerly loading
        #                 the association via +eager_graph+.
        # :graph_conditions :: The additional conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading
        #                      the association via +eager_graph+.  Should be a hash or an array of two element arrays. If not
        #                      specified, the :conditions option is used if it is a hash or array of two element arrays.
        # :graph_join_type :: The type of SQL join to use when eagerly loading the association via
        #                     eager_graph.  Defaults to :left_outer.
        # :graph_only_conditions :: The conditions to use on the SQL join when eagerly loading
        #                           the association via +eager_graph+, instead of the default conditions specified by the
        #                           foreign/primary keys.  This option causes the :graph_conditions option to be ignored.
        # :graph_order :: Over the order to use when using eager_graph, instead of the default order.  This should be used
        #                 in the case where :order contains an identifier qualified by the table's name, which may not match
        #                 the alias used when eager graphing.  By setting this to the unqualified identifier, it will be
        #                 automatically qualified when using eager_graph.
        # :graph_select :: A column or array of columns to select from the associated table
        #                  when eagerly loading the association via +eager_graph+. Defaults to all
        #                  columns in the associated table.
        # :limit :: Limit the number of records to the provided value.  Use
        #           an array with two elements for the value to specify a
        #           limit (first element) and an offset (second element).
        # :methods_module :: The module that methods the association creates will be placed into. Defaults
        #                    to the module containing the model's columns.
        # :order :: the column(s) by which to order the association dataset.  Can be a
        #           singular column symbol or an array of column symbols.
        # :order_eager_graph :: Whether to add the association's order to the graphed dataset's order when graphing
        #                       via +eager_graph+.  Defaults to true, so set to false to disable.
        # :read_only :: Do not add a setter method (for many_to_one or one_to_one associations),
        #               or add_/remove_/remove_all_ methods (for one_to_many and many_to_many associations). Always
        #               true for one_through_one associations.
        # :reciprocal :: the symbol name of the reciprocal association,
        #                if it exists.  By default, Sequel will try to determine it by looking at the
        #                associated model's assocations for a association that matches
        #                the current association's key(s).  Set to nil to not use a reciprocal.
        # :remover :: Proc used to define the private _remove_* method for doing the database work
        #             to remove the association between the given object and the current object (*_to_many assocations).
        # :select :: the columns to select.  Defaults to the associated class's table_name.* in an association
        #            that uses joins, which means it doesn't include the attributes from the
        #            join table.  If you want to include the join table attributes, you can
        #            use this option, but beware that the join table attributes can clash with
        #            attributes from the model table, so you should alias any attributes that have
        #            the same name in both the join table and the associated table.
        # :setter :: Proc used to define the private _*= method for doing the work to setup the assocation
        #            between the given object and the current object (*_to_one associations).
        # :subqueries_per_union :: The number of subqueries to use in each UNION query, for eager
        #                          loading limited associations using the default :union strategy.
        # :validate :: Set to false to not validate when implicitly saving any associated object.
        # === :many_to_one
        # :key :: foreign key in current model's table that references
        #         associated model's primary key, as a symbol.  Defaults to :"#{name}_id".  Can use an
        #         array of symbols for a composite key association.
        # :key_column :: Similar to, and usually identical to, :key, but :key refers to the model method
        #                to call, where :key_column refers to the underlying column.  Should only be
        #                used if the model method differs from the foreign key column, in conjunction
        #                with defining a model alias method for the key column.
        # :primary_key :: column in the associated table that :key option references, as a symbol.
        #                 Defaults to the primary key of the associated table. Can use an
        #                 array of symbols for a composite key association.
        # :primary_key_method :: the method symbol or array of method symbols to call on the associated
        #                        object to get the foreign key values.  Defaults to :primary_key option.
        # :qualify :: Whether to use qualifier primary keys when loading the association.  The default
        #             is true, so you must set to false to not qualify.  Qualification rarely causes
        #             problems, but it's necessary to disable in some cases, such as when you are doing
        #             a JOIN USING operation on the column on Oracle.
        # === :one_to_many and :one_to_one
        # :key :: foreign key in associated model's table that references
        #         current model's primary key, as a symbol.  Defaults to
        #         :"#{self.name.underscore}_id".  Can use an
        #         array of symbols for a composite key association.
        # :key_method :: the method symbol or array of method symbols to call on the associated
        #                object to get the foreign key values.  Defaults to :key option.
        # :primary_key :: column in the current table that :key option references, as a symbol.
        #                 Defaults to primary key of the current table. Can use an
        #                 array of symbols for a composite key association.
        # :primary_key_column :: Similar to, and usually identical to, :primary_key, but :primary_key refers
        #                        to the model method call, where :primary_key_column refers to the underlying column.
        #                        Should only be used if the model method differs from the primary key column, in
        #                        conjunction with defining a model alias method for the primary key column.
        # :raise_on_save_failure :: Do not raise exceptions for hook or validation failures when saving associated
        #                           objects in the add/remove methods (return nil instead) [one_to_many only].

        #                                 the join table when eagerly loading the association via +eager_graph+.
        #                                 Should be a hash or an array of two element arrays.

        # :left_primary_key_column :: Similar to, and usually identical to, :left_primary_key, but :left_primary_key refers to
        #                             the model method to call, where :left_primary_key_column refers to the underlying column.  Should only

      # Eager loading makes it so that you can load all associated records for a
      # set of objects in a single query, instead of a separate query for each object.
      #
      # Two separate implementations are provided.  +eager+ should be used most of the
      # time, as it loads associated records using one query per association.  However,
      # it does not allow you the ability to filter or order based on columns in associated tables.  +eager_graph+ loads
      # all records in a single query using JOINs, allowing you to filter or order based on columns in associated
      # tables.  However, +eager_graph+ is usually slower than +eager+, especially if multiple
      # one_to_many or many_to_many associations are joined.
      #
      # You can cascade the eager loading (loading associations on associated objects)
      # with no limit to the depth of the cascades.  You do this by passing a hash to +eager+ or +eager_graph+
      # with the keys being associations of the current model and values being
      # associations of the model associated with the current model via the key.
      #  
      # The arguments can be symbols or hashes with symbol keys (for cascaded
      # eager loading). Examples:
      #
      #   Album.eager(:artist).all
      #   Album.eager_graph(:artist).all
      #   Album.eager(:artist, :genre).all
      #   Album.eager_graph(:artist, :genre).all
      #   Album.eager(:artist).eager(:genre).all
      #   Album.eager_graph(:artist).eager(:genre).all
      #   Artist.eager(:albums=>:tracks).all
      #   Artist.eager_graph(:albums=>:tracks).all
      #   Artist.eager(:albums=>{:tracks=>:genre}).all
      #   Artist.eager_graph(:albums=>{:tracks=>:genre}).all
      #
      # You can also pass a callback as a hash value in order to customize the dataset being
      # eager loaded at query time, analogous to the way the :eager_block association option
      # allows you to customize it at association definition time. For example,
      # if you wanted artists with their albums since 1990:
      #
      #   Artist.eager(:albums => proc{|ds| ds.where{year > 1990}})
      #
      # Or if you needed albums and their artist's name only, using a single query:
      #
      #   Albums.eager_graph(:artist => proc{|ds| ds.select(:name)})
      #
      # To cascade eager loading while using a callback, you substitute the cascaded
      # associations with a single entry hash that has the proc callback as the key and 
      # the cascaded associations as the value.  This will load artists with their albums
      # since 1990, and also the tracks on those albums and the genre for those tracks:
      #
      #   Artist.eager(:albums => {proc{|ds| ds.where{year > 1990}}=>{:tracks => :genre}})

        # Then it goes through all associations that have been specified via +eager+.
        # It loads each of those associations separately, then associates them back

        #
        # This implementation avoids the complexity of extracting an object graph out

        # This method uses <tt>Dataset#graph</tt> to create appropriate aliases for columns in all the

        # finally replaces the array of hashes with an array model objects inside all.
        #
        # Be very careful when using this with multiple one_to_many or many_to_many associations, as you can
