I understand the need behind your proposition but you want to insert some behaviour for the view in the model.
This breaks the MVC separation.
I do a lot of the following:
    if some_model.user
        ...
    end
to check the presence of the association. Your proposition will break this idiom which is IMHO heavily used in code.

This kind of response is precisely why I came here first and didn't just invest the time and opened a pull request. IMHO this should be supported in the frame work, and I will be more then happy to work on it if you guys think it should go in.

I know Ruby can be used to override the relation.

I actually had a plan that the loading of the "Nil class" will be automatically based on the relation name, but you can override it with the :nil_class definition.

Anyway, let me know if you think it's viable.

    Agreed.  We don't need any framework support for the null object
    pattern.  Just use Ruby.
