To me "refers App::Model::Foo by 'bar'" seems like a good place for
syntactic sugar if nothing else. Treat that the same as "refers
App::Model::FooCollection by 'bar'" but then make the accessor perform the
extra "dereference" required so that the syntax for accessing your record is
just:
my $linked_foo = $bar->foo;
rather than:
my $linked_foo = $bar->foo->first;

In order to get the behavior you want, replace
refers_to App::Model::Foo by 'bar';
with
refers_to App::Model::FooCollection by 'bar';
I'm not sure if we want your version to work; I think I would rather see
it die or at least warn that you're using `by' in an invalid place,
since to me referring to a model and referring to a collection are
very distinct and it makes sense to make them clearly different.
