This would be cool to have in Rails.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many                :roles
end

class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :rolable, :polymorphic => true
end

class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_one :role, :as => :rolable
    has_one :user, :through => :rolable    # * This is not possible
yet in Rails (I think).
end

class Teacher < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_one :role, :as => :rolable
    has_one :user, :through => :rolable    # * This is not possible
yet in Rails.
end

Then be able to say:

@student.user   # Instead of having to say @student.role.user

Or even better be able to say @student.email when `email` was a column
of User but not Student.
