I agree that a double negative is iffy. But I don't like present on the root. What I do like is: Person.where.present(:name) – so that #present on where becomes a modifier like #not. I would have to have the same semantics as Object#present?, though. So that means that both nil and empty would count. (Also agree that we can't use #having since it already has meaning in SQL).
