Restricting is dividing your set into those items you want and those you
don't. Since you have attributes across two models, Post#active and
CategoryAssignment#show_in_category, though, I don't think you can combine
them into one named_scope. I think you'll have to do something like you
suggested at the end of your last message, or you'll have to wrap everything
in a class method to have the semantics that you want.
