So, let's say I'm using pgcrypto and in some circumstances, if a user has 
sufficient access, I want to decrypt a column in the select. This is simple 
enough when selecting using a single table or model.

So, let's say table1 has a column called crypted_column and I select 
pgp_sym_decrypt(crypted_column, key) AS decrypted_column. Pretty simple. 

class Table1
  def decrypted_column
    self[:decrypted_column]
  end
end

So, t1 = 
Table1.select_append(:pgp_sym_decrypt.sql_function(:crypted_column, 
key).as(:decrypted_column)).first gives me t1.decrypted_column => 
"decrypted value"

However, how do I get this value to show up in an eager graph—preferably 
without having to update every single instance of the association? 

So let's say I have table2, table3, and table4 and they all have either a 
many_to_one OR a one_through_one association with table1.

If I do 
Table2.eager_graph(:table1).select_append(:pgp_sym_decrypt.sql_function(:crypted_column,
 
key).as(:decrypted_column)).first I can SEE the correct key in the hash 
with the decrypted value, but if I do .all (which gives me the models 
rather than a hash of values) where does "decrypted_column" go, where is it 
accessible from, and how do I tell the process, "Hey. decrypted_column goes 
with table1?"
