Actually there is another thing I wanted canvas.
With create and update you have the option to pass in an array to save
multiple records. Using the block syntax you could call the block on
each record in the array.
Person.create([{:name => 'Adam'}, {:name => 'Jeremy'}]) do |p|
p.set_status(:cool)
end
It could be powerful but is it intuitive or should they be mutually
exclusive?
